Hi, I previously posted the writing on this coin and now I have pictures. The 2x2 states that it is Constantine and it was amongst coins of his sons so I hope the ID is correct. What do you think?

It looks like it states "DNCONSTA" on the left side of the obverse and I can make out an S, and AVG on the right side of the obverse. Looking at http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm, I think it is Constans his son, minted at Antioch, in 347-348. :( Also, it is smaller than an american cent, smaller than a dime in fact, by a couple of millimeters. So it's an AE4 I think they refer to it as when it's 16mm or smaller. Bummer.

Looks like Constantius II, with that third diadem tie on top of the hair.

Shame about the broken part, but that is a very nice portrait coin.
