I know its Constantius II Soldier spearing fallen horseman but I'm having hard time with future attributing this coin therefore I'm asking for some help here, Thanks.   |

I cannot tell for sure, but perhaps you can. In the minmark does it show T dot SB or TSB. I'm not sure but it may make a difference in the attribution. Also, when I can't find something, I generally consult Hevetica's pages. Well laid out and easy to find. http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-ric.htm |

Twice now I've neglected to tell you that is a nice coin.

Thank you ... it kind looks like T dot SB but I'm not sure. I've sharpened this picture a little so maybe it's more visible now.  |

I went back to Helvetica's and found there are no T dot SB. So my original attribution stands. Very nice detail on this coin.

Thats a great coin! The anger of the roman soldier has lived on... now how much did you pay for that? (Im jealous because I am yet to acquire a fallen horseman coin, and have very little chance of getting one in such good condition!)

I've bought it few months ago for $6 or $7. I was surprised when it arrived because it looked much better than on the sellers bad pictures.
