<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8495710, member: 26430&quot;]Oh, that is fantastic! I&#039;m a collector of FEL TEMP REPARATIOs and captives/barbarian coins especially, but I don&#039;t think I ever knew of this type. Thanks for sharing -- now I have to find one!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted some of my recent captives/barbarians coins over here the other day: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/posts/8486328" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/posts/8486328">https://www.cointalk.com/posts/8486328</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple I left out of that thread (but I&#039;ve shown elsewhere):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1503321[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius II. This is my Arelate (Arles) with ARL instead of TCON in the exergue (AE3s).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1503322[/ATTACH]</p><p>A really nice Gordian III RIC 337a, with Victory balancing a shield on the head of a tiny captive. From the Adrian Lang collection (Leu 12), but they didn&#039;t note that it was previously in the George His collection (CNG 69) -- and illustrated on wildwinds, which is always fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>With probably the best patina in my collection (no coincidence that George His &amp; Adrian Lang were both mineral collectors before coin collectors!):</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]GydHGhFl1jM[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Also -- I just got a bunch of old books and auction catalogs from the Numismatik Lanz Library. Here are two that had illustrate coins in my collection. (I was really thrilled about getting Hubert Lanz&#039;s custom hardcover set of the Leo Benz collection catalogs, Lanz 88, 94, and 100. I&#039;ve got another pair [94 &amp; 100] that I&#039;ll use as my normal working copies, and keep Lanz&#039;s as my &quot;collectible shelf copy.&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1503324[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1503323[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Below is Hess 207 (1 Dec 1931), &quot;Sammlung Kommerzienrat H.
