| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted, draped, and cuirassed Roman soldier strides to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand to dispatch a fallen horseman, while bearing a shield on his left arm; a second shield rests on the ground to the right. The enemy horseman, identified by his distinctive pointed Phrygian-style cap as a barbarian cavalryman, falls forward from his stricken mount, clutching the horse's neck in a gesture of defeat. The Greek letter Γ appears in the left field, and a dot is placed in the centre field as control marks. The mint signature and officina letter are recorded in the exergue below the ground line. The celebrated FEL TEMP REPARATIO type, depicting the 'Fallen Horseman' composition, is one of the most widely issued reverse designs of the Constantinian dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantius Gallus was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II in 351, largely out of dynastic necessity — nearly every other male relative had been massacred in the succession purge of 337. He was given control of the East and proved almost immediately ungovernable, executing officials and provincial administrators on personal whim with enough frequency that Constantius eventually summoned and beheaded him in 354. The FEL TEMP REPARATIO coinage was a empire-wide issue launched precisely at the moment of Gallus's appointment, making his Caesar issues a tight chronological bracket of under four years.
Constantinople mint production under RIC VIII 110 belongs to a period when the city's workshops were expanding rapidly to meet the demand of a divided imperial administration.
