Yes, a Roman soldier spearing a fallen horseman. The inscription on the reverse reads FEL TEMP REPARATIO and the type was minted by several emperors 347-61 AD. The bareheaded emperor could be Constantius Gallus, like this one in that case: http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric....r.84?lang=en

Possibly an issue of Constantius Gallus, Heraclea or Cyzicus mint? "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" reverse?

The fallen horseman being speared was a very common motif during this period.

Edit: Oops, didn't realize somebody else had already replied in the same vein....
