Constantius II, FEL TEMP - Galley type, Lugdunum
« on: August 21, 2022, 11:04:44 am »
 I have a penchant for Lugdunum and a FEL TEMP REPARATIO collection. Here the two collide.

Firstly a coin I have had for some years:-

Constantius II - AE3

Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right, A behind bust
Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor standing left on galley, holding phoenix on globe and labarum; Victory behind, steering galley
Minted in Lugdunum (//*SLG). A.D. 348-350.
Reference:- RIC VIII Lugdunum 97 (R)

17 mm

Ex Col. Hermann-Joseph Lückger, Germany (1864-1951). Lückger was a German entrepreneur in the textile industry and amateur historian and collector of art.



The following is a very recent acquisition bought as a partner for the coin above and it was only on it's arrival that I did my research.

Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right
Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor standing left on galley, holding phoenix on globe and labarum; Victory behind, steering galley
Minted in Lugdunum (//*PLG). 348-350 AD.
Reference:- RIC VIII Lugdunum 97 var (Not listed for PLG, SLG is R)

Weight 1.94g. Maximum diameter 18.27 mm. Die orientation 180 degrees
