[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2139686, member: 44316"]I have a web site on the earliest references to Christianity on Roman coins. [url]http://esty.ancients.info/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html[/url] Today I added a variety I had previously been unaware of. Most FEL TEMP REPARATIO types have chi-rhos or crosses, but the "solider spearing fallen horseman" 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: [ATTACH=full]408921[/ATTACH] In the field is the interesting LXXII, which means "72 to the pound" as a statement of denomination, which is rare in and of itself.
