COIN
Unique ID: BH-44BBC7
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A slightly worn and corroded copper-alloy nummus, probably of Constantius Gallus (AD 351-4) (Reece Period 18), FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier advancing left spearing fallen horseman. Mint unclear, but mintmark appears to end with a crescent. The mint with a crescent at the end of the mintmark for coins of this period is Trier. However, coins are only recorded for Constantius II. It is, though, plausible that coins were struck for Constantius Gallus as well RIC VIII, p. 167, cf nos. 355-60. 1.94g; 16.9mm
