Copying Constantius II. A.D. 337-360. AE 2 majorina (23.72 mm, 5.89 g, 1 h). contemporary copy of "fallen horseman" FEL TEMP REPARATIO. unofficial mint, ca. A.D. 350's . legend reduced to illiterate border decoration; diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / legend reduced to illiterate border decoration; soldier advancing right spearing fallen horseman; exergue contains illiterate facsimile of Siscia mint mark. VF, bold but awkward style, well-engraved.

It is interesting that the engraver of the reverse die flipped the orientation of the image side-for-side, but did a surprisingly fine job of mirror-image copying of the well known reverse type.
