    Very nice. Someday I will own an ancient coin with that nice of detail.

    Great addition @randygeki . The portrait is particularly nice.

    I don't have any FTR for Constantius II but perhaps you will be okay with me adding my dueling Victories :)

    Oh I will. Right now my budget is small. I picked up a worn Faustina II Denarii from a friend a couple days ago. Still waiting for it to arrive.

    Great, typical, Antioch style. What's not to like.

    Great coin Randy! It looks like you are cornering the market on excellent FTR types.

    Nice surfaces on that new coin RG!

    This scraggly little AE4 of Julian II from Antioch is kind of growing on me. Pretty good for the type really.

    Nice score @randygeki ! Very nice bronze...

    I have Fallen Horseman from CII, and a couple others. But none are from Antioch...

    Most certainly! It is much harder to find a really nice AE4 falling horseman with full legends and all Julians are late so your coin is quite deserving of your admiration.

    Here's a Delmatius, glossy black patina. A bit hard to get the lighting right on the photo...
