<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 2187739, member: 56653&quot;]I am a fan of the fallen horseman type and especially the larger AE2&#039;s of 348-353AD. What is appealing to these coins is - besides the many obvious reverse variations - the diversity of bust types.</p><p>For instance, please check out the globe-holding bust type on these, by Constans:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>CONSTANS Centenionalis (VF) </b></font></p><p><font size="5"><b><br /></b></font></p><p>AV: DN CONSTA - NS PF AVG; pearl diademed draped cuirassed holding globe in r. hand bust r.</p><p><br /></p><p>REV: FEL TEMP RE - PARATIO; Roman soldier spearing bare headed fallen horseman.</p><p><br /></p><p>EXE: TSA* Thessalonica mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>REF: RIC VIII Thessalonica 116, rated C 348-350.</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC rates them common but I think they are rather scarce by today&#039;s standards.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>AE2 25mm 4.75g</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424527[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>22mm 4.76g</b></font></p><p><font size="5"><b>[ATTACH=full]424528[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
