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": https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-special-fh.304298/ "Yet another FTR (horseman) thread": https://www.cointalk.com/threads/yet-another-ftr-horseman-thread.303998/ "Another mint set almost done (FEL TEMPS)" https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-mint-set-almost-done-fel-temps.304228/#post-2876532 "FTRs isn't always about the horsemen" https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ftrs-isnt-always-about-the-horsemen.300931/#post-2817580 "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: 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.

A few fel temps I'd like to have: View attachment 709256 The horseman on the last kinda reminds me of @dougsmit
WOW!! I can't recall seeing so many fantastic examples of the Fel Temp before....at least not on one thread
Here are a couple I bought in 1988 from a North London dealer who had a hoard: Emperor and two captives. Chi-rho on banner. •SMKA RIC Cyzicus 80 Soldier spearing fallen horseman ANE RIC Antioch 132
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.
