Arcadius Reverses: Victory Advancing Left

Some of these images may be clicked for an enlarged gallery view of the coin.
This is a nicely struck up example of a Victory advancing left type of Arcadius. The obverse is even nicer than the reverse, showing ample portrait detail and style, with most of the legend present and readable.
SMNr mintmark, Nicomedia mint.
Here is another nice Arcadius piece with SALVS REIPVBLICAE legend and victory advancing left.
ANT and one other obliterated letter in the mintmark. Antioch mint, unknown officina.
This coin shows quite a bit of wear, but the portrait is all there. Arcadius' robes are clearly visible on the obverse. This example has a P - headed cross on the reverse.
CONS mintmark, possibly another additional letter to right of CONS. Constantinopolis mint.
This victory advancing left type has a standard cross on the reverse.
Possibly Antioch mint?
This tiny, worn example of the victory advancing left reverse type was probably a very nicely struck up coin when newly struck, unlike most coins struck during that time. Unfortuanately, wear and corrosion have taken their toll. Still, the strong figure of Victory shows through despite the damage.
