A.D. 350-353 Magnentius Bronze Bridgnorth Shropshire Hoard, The Fallen Horseman Reverse

Meaning "Glory of the Romans," this reverse type represents the emperor as the protector of Rome and its people. The figure on the reverse will be either the emperor or a soldier on horseback, spearing the fallen enemy. This design is a publicity type, from the Treveri Mint (Trier, Germany), and reminds the people the emperor is keeping the lands secure and peaceful.
