Struck during the reign of Constantius II, this bronze follis features one of the most iconic reverse designs of the late Roman Empire: the FEL TEMP REPARATIO, symbolizing the emperor’s efforts to restore peace and order during a time of frontier conflict and internal challenges.

• Obverse: Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right. Inscription: DN CONSTAN TIVS P F AVG (Dominus Noster Constantius Pius Felix Augustus).

• Reverse: A Roman soldier advancing left, spearing a fallen horseman who looks back and raises his arm in a gesture of defense. The fallen figure wears a pointed cap—often interpreted as a Sasanian or barbarian enemy.
  In field: D to inner left.
  In exergue: partially legible, likely [SM]CON, marking the Arelate Mint.

With a rich green patina and excellent detail, this piece exemplifies the dynamic artistry and imperial propaganda of the late Constantinian era. A sharp and desirable example of a classic type.
