<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 3330298, member: 76111&quot;]It&#039;s a CR 53/2, which is a very common type but has lots of stylistic variations as defined by Brinkman.&nbsp; I would say yours is a Brinkman Group 3 type.&nbsp; His description is:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The horses on the group 3 dies are larger and appear closer to the viewer. The hind legs are always in a crouched pose with the hock bent further to the left than any other part of the leg.&nbsp; The tail between the horses is nearly always present and in the form of several horizontal &quot;hatched&quot; lines.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Obverse: </b>Two raised lines over visor. Tufts on the back of the helmet very close together.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Reverse: </b>The word ROMA in a trapezoidal frame with the bottom line shorter than the top line, and angled lines connecting the top and bottom.&nbsp; The angled lines are often hidden on off-center coins. Horseman’s cape is of the “streaming” style. There is an interesting extra horse’s tail in the form of several short paralell horizontal lines extending between the pairs of horse’s hind legs.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Distinguishing Characteristics:</b></p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Reverse legend ROMA in trapezoidal frame</li> <li>Extra horse’s tail of several short paralell horizontal lines </li> <li>Tufts on back of helmet are close together</li> <li>“Streaming” style cape</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p>More can be found here with example:&nbsp; <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/#H53-2-X-14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/#H53-2-X-14" rel="nofollow">http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/#H53-2-X-14</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
