<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 3236327, member: 77226&quot;]By this point (early to mid 350s) the FEL TEMP REPARATIO fallen horseman coins were minted for 3 people. Constantius II, Constantius Gallus, and Julian II. ...and I think that by the time these coins (with the “M” in the reverse left field were minted, Gallus may have been dead). In any case, of those three, 2 were only Caesars at that point and only one was Augustus. On coins of this era, the Caesars were usually portrayed bare-headed. Only the Augustus wore a diadem on coins. So by seeing the bust wearing a diadem (headwear) on the obverse... by process of elimination, we know it is Constantius II. That’s a tough one for someone new to Roman coins... we would have told ya sooner if you asked. Haha... anyway, I hope you are enjoying this new avenue of collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
