Constans, FTR- Galley, Antioch

[maridvnvm]

I have been building a small collection of FTR Galley coins and was missing an example from Antioch. It is not as interesting as the fascinating example posted here back in 2006 (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=27763.0) where the prow was decorated with an animal head but I thought it still worth sharing.

Constans - AE2

Obv:- D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right
Rev:- FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, Emperor in military dress standing left on galley, holding Phoenix and labarum, Victory sitting at the stern, steering the ship. Prow decorated with trident
Minted in Antioch; (_ * //ANH)
Reference:– RIC VIII Antioch 124 corr (* in right field not left as indicated in RIC) var (Unlisted officina, others Rated S)

5.19g, 23.48mm, 180o

I have a small collection too, not one from this mint and yours unlisted officina!
The Antioch mint has the finest style and execution of die, yours is proof....lovely!
Nice find and good eye😛

Maybe anchor rather than trident on prow?

Or depiction of ram?
