Got these two unattributed fallen horseman types for a really good deal. I think they are great examples and pretty easy to attribute so I couldn't resist.

I knew that this one was Constantius II:

I believe the mintmark is SMNT so it has to be this:

Constantius II AE3. 355-361 AD. D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier right and looking left, spears a fallen long-haired horseman who reaches back towards the soldier. Mintmark SMNΓ.


Fallen-Horseman-Pick-Ups.

Not sure on this one yet, but the reverse is exquisite:


Fallen-Horseman-Pick-Ups.

Of coarse I've been wrong before, so feel free to jump in - Thanks for looking!

I don't know if the patinas have been enhanced, but they sure are pretty. Nice!

Two nice examples.Looks like they were possibly cleaned in olive oil which leaves a nice dark color.
Rest in Peace
