There is a coin of Constantius II which shows a lively representation of a leaping fully-armed soldier, with shield, stabbing downwards with a spear at a cavalryman whose horse has fallen:

I have a better version of this coin, but no image. The details are clearer, the leaping soldier wears a muscle cuirass and helmet.
