    There are quite a few CT members with excellent collections of FEL TEMP REPARATIO types. Some collect "soldier spearing fallen horseman" or "hut", but there are other types too. A CT search on "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" yields many threads, including

    "A special FH":

    "Yet another FTR (horseman) thread":

    "FEL TEMP REPARATIO - hut type"
    https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fel-temp-reparatio-hut-type.259251/

    You get the point. Many of us like FTRs and collect them with details in mind. I'd like to see some of the finest FTRs we have. Here is one that is the rarest FTR type:

    32886.jpg Constantius II, 324-337-361.
    Bust left, holding globe in right hand. N behind the head.
    FEL TEMP REPARATIO, horseman (nimbate!) spearing two kneeling foes.
    This type is only from Rome.
    RIC VIII Rome 184 "R2".
    Look at the details on the horse, the horseman, and the foes.

    Show us your excellent FTRs of any type.

    Agreed. I have probably studied over thousand of these coins. That’s a conservative estimate. This may be the most detailed one I’ve ever seen. I don’t recall ever being able to make out a significant pattern on the smaller figure’s tunic before.
