<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 995256, member: 26302&quot;]But are they from different mints, meaning the celators simply inputted local foes versus a standard one? Or are they different foes from the same mint, intentionally differentiated? If they are intentionally showing different foes, then I completely agree, and they shouldn&#039;t be &quot;fallen horsemen&quot; types, but &quot;fallen Sassanid&quot;, &quot;fallen Goth&quot;, &quot;fallen tribe A&quot; etc. I guess I assumed the variations were a result of different celators depicting local foes in their dies after being told generically the type to portray. Either way they are very interesting, I really appreciate the post and am anxious to study these more now. I especially love the depiction of stirrups, something I did not see the first time. Where were the mints that depicted these? In the east?</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I still am blown away by the style of the 4th one. I have never seen such quality in these, that truly is an outstanding specimen and outstanding style. The 3rd one is no loser either. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
