| I will pay a good price for any Fel Temps (fallen horseman type) of Constans and a very good price for the Magnentius Fel Temp. If you see a Constans on ebay or a shop website anywhere, please let me know, thanks ! |
| If you have a Fel Temp (fallen horseman type) for sale, that does not appear to be in my collection (including any officinae I don't have) please feel free to offer it to me. Don't be afraid if it's grotty! |
| There are over 2,200 known varieties of this type of coin..... I have an awful long way to go to collect them all, LOL ! |
I would be very happy to see pictures of your horsemen coins if they differ from the description given in RIC. If you can 100% identify the mint of your coin(s) please send me a picture of the coin as well as the RIC reference if you have it to  . |
| Last but not least, many thanks to those kind souls who have donated or swapped unwanted and/or homeless Fel Temps to the collection!: Jon LaFalce, Joe Engebretson and Bryan Fritch. And of course Big George who pays my "wages" in Fel Temps :-)) |
Please scroll down for headwear and hairstyles descriptions and examples

Apparently the mints were not required to depict any one type of horseman. I have just finished including all my horsemen types into the RIC list and here as well. (Many thanks to Vic Failmezger and Dr. Simon James for their help and ideas)
| Headwear type | Description |
|---|---|
| Phrygian helmet |  A very narrow brim, often no brim at all. Most important feature is the long tip with "droopy" end. This tip usually stretches forwards to a point in line with the forehead |
| Scythian short-tipped helmet |  No brim, a very short tip at the top rear of the head. Sometimes you can see helmet ties or braids behind the rider's head |
| Scythian bowl-shaped helmet |  No point at all and evenly round on top, the lower rim around the head is often visible |
| Wide-brimmed helmet. |  Can be short-tipped, slightly pointed or bowl-shaped |
| Brimmed helmet |  Has a visible brim but not as wide as the one above. The head section is similar to the bowl-shaped helmet |
| Celtic or "Phrygian Nasal" helmet |  Has a very small pointed tip. The Celtic or Phrygian nasal (called thus because of the protection above the nose) is the closest I can get to it. |
| Bearded, hair in braids |  Probably meant to represent Germanic or Celtic tribal cavalry. This type is usually seen on larger Antioch coins. |
| No beard, hair in braids | As above but rider has no beard |
| Bare-headed, with or without beard | No helmet is visible. Hair can be bunched behind or on top of the head. Can also be in the form of a small topknot on the top of the head. This was also a hairstyle used by Germanic barbarians |
| Hair straight up |  This style is most often seen on Fel Temps from Nicomedia and Aquileia |
