Roman Empire – Constantius II
AE3 Bronze – FEL TEMP REPARATIO Type
Soldier Spearing Fallen Horseman – Rome Mint
AD 348–355
A historically significant late Roman bronze AE3 coin issued during the reign of Constantius II (AD 337–361), son of Constantine the Great. This issue belongs to the famous FEL TEMP REPARATIO (“The Restoration of Happy Times”) series, one of the most recognizable coin types of the later Roman Empire.
The reverse depicts a Roman soldier advancing and spearing a fallen horseman, a dramatic military scene symbolizing Roman victories over hostile forces and the emperor’s role as defender of the empire. The imagery reflects the importance of the army during the 4th century AD, when Rome faced continued challenges along its frontiers.
Struck at the Rome Mint, this coin circulated widely throughout the empire during Constantius II’s reign. The detailed battle scene makes this type especially popular among collectors of late Roman coinage.
