[QUOTE="otlichnik, post: 5234265, member: 109731"]The first one, the FTR Falling Horseman, has an M in the reverse field and is thus from the 6th and last series, dated to 356-358. The Licinius is definitely senior. The delta in the reverse field is the officina, or workshop, number = 4. The one with facing bust is Arcadius, I can see the DIVS at the top of the unbroken legend. The other one is sadly in that category of never being unable to tell as the flan was too small for the die - very typical of this Two Emperors Standing, GLORIA EXERCITVS type. I believe that the Hut coins has too many letters visible for Constans and is therefore likely Constantius II. But you can only really determine that in person. I am glad that your cat only knocked your coin away. There are a few cases where the coin was eaten - leaving the owner with an unenviable task for the next few days...... SC[/QUOTE]
