<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2775818, member: 44210&quot;]While I&#039;m more of a Valentinian I-and-later kind of guy, I still really enjoy the late bronzes from earlier in the 4th century, and needing more nicely-detailed LRBs in my collection, I had to pick this one up (an older purchase from some months back btw). Even though Fallen Horsemans are basically a-dime-a-dozen, they are less common in this kind of shape or better. Love how this one still has some of its silvering. And many collectors disregard the usual pearl-diademed generic-looking LRB bust, but when executed right, it can look very commanding and regal as on my example. Constantius II is a common enough emperor and I&#039;m not feeling up to posting a lengthy history right now, so I&#039;ll link to some articles on him and post the obligatory map.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]641140[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius&#039;s territories are in yellow:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]641141[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ancient.eu/Constantius_II/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancient.eu/Constantius_II/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ancient.eu/Constantius_II/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.roman-empire.net/collapse/constantius-II.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.roman-empire.net/collapse/constantius-II.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.roman-empire.net/collapse/constantius-II.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://odur.let.rug.nl/~drijvers/ammianus/contributions/constantius.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://odur.let.rug.nl/~drijvers/ammianus/contributions/constantius.htm" rel="nofollow">http://odur.let.rug.nl/~drijvers/ammianus/contributions/constantius.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Post anything you&#039;d like!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
