Fourth century Roman coins with the legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO are among the most common ancient coins of all. Many of us collect the types, including "soldier spearing fallen horseman", "hut", "galley", "two captives", etc. Some collect them by mints. Failmezger devoted an entire chapter to them. One type stands out as the rarest. It is only from Rome and R2 (very rare). Constantius II, 22-20 mm. FEL TEMP REPARATIO Horseman, with halo, spearing two kneeling foes RE below. RIC VIII Rome 153 "R2". Failmezger 412 "RR" (his highest degree of rarity). Excellent reverse, which is the very rare part. [$275 SOLD + $6 shipping in the US. $3 more abroad.]
