Paul 6 - Opening bid, $15.00. Lovely, Sharp Constantius II FEL TEMP REPARATIO AE-3 majorina from Antioch - This is a very nice Fourth Century Roman billon coin. A half-majorina or perhaps a reduced full majorina on a slightly under-sized flan - 19 mm, 4.27 g, RIC, VIII, 190. It has an attractive black patina with light sand highlights. Payment is by PayPal, cash or personal check. My PayPal address is: bulgerin@sbcglobal.net (please try and use "Friends and Family). Shipping is $1.00 in the U.S. and $2.00 elsewhere.
Exceptionally well-struck on both sides with a detailed bust of the emperor. Just check out his hair and the ornaments on his drapery and armor. On the reverse, you can make out the details of the beard on the fallen Persian horseman, reaching back, trying to save himself from the Roman soldier about to run him through.
