<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2947700, member: 83956&quot;]Here’s a challenging question for the group:</p><p><br /></p><p>There are five *main* types of FEL TEMP coins, commonly called:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. “barbarian and hut”</p><p>2. “emperor on a galley”</p><p>3. “soldier spearing a fallen horseman”</p><p>4. “phoenix on a pyre/globe”</p><p>5. “emperor and two captives”</p><p><br /></p><p>These were struck for Constans and Constantius II, but disproportionately so. Numismatists have long observed, for example, that the “hut” coin is disproportionately associated with Constans. Anecdotally, it seems a bit easier to find an “emperor and two captives” coin for Constantius II than for Constans.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question: <b>If one wished to put together a set of 5 of these centenionales for the same emperor from the same mint, for what mint and emperor (e.g., Constans/Antioch) would it be the easiest?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Idle speculation welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
