The horse is oriented to the right. The letter S appears in the field, serving as a control mark. The exergue contains the mint signature. The scene belongs to the well-known FEL TEMP REPARATIO type depicting Roman military virtue over barbarian adversaries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are returning") coinage was launched empire-wide around 348 AD to mark the 1100th anniversary of Rome's founding, but the type continued well past any celebratory purpose into the chaotic 350s — a decade that saw Constantius II fighting the usurper Magnentius in the west while simultaneously managing Persian pressure on the eastern frontier. Antioch, as the primary imperial base for eastern campaigns, was a high-output mint during this period.
RIC VIII 150 falls within the "falling horseman" phase of the type, struck as the empire's silver supply was under strain and bronze denominations were carrying more of the monetary burden than they had in decades.
