<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2139686, member: 44316&quot;]I have a web site on the earliest references to Christianity on Roman coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Today I added a variety I had previously been unaware of. Most FEL TEMP REPARATIO types have chi-rhos or crosses, but the &quot;solider spearing fallen horseman&quot; type almost never does. When I saw this one, I got it for my site. It is now Type 4.5 in the table on the main page:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408921[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>In the field is the interesting LXXII, which means &quot;72 to the pound&quot; as a statement of denomination, which is rare in and of itself. But the chi-rho in the middle is rare enough to have escaped my attention for many years!&nbsp; This one is of Constantius Gallus and there is a corresponding type of Constantius II.&nbsp; This one is 23 mm maximum and 3.23 grams. The corrosion is bad but it is so rare that I don&#039;t expect to be able to upgrade it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I invite you to visit my site and to post here your interesting &quot;soldier spearing fallen horseman&quot; varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
