Any information on this coin would be great! I know its pretty beat up but the tiny portrait is interesting haven't come across one this small. Also any help deciphering the mint mark would be great.
Thanks!

One of the last two rows on this page:

http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/_rev/index101i.htm

Legend is too far gone for me to read; it's most likely from the Theodosian dynasty (Theo. I&II, Honorius, Arcadius) based on the head shape.

the legend looks like Securitas (Tesorillo 102), and the field marks also look right, which means Lugdunum mint (mintmark confirms, looks like LVGP).

Best I can figure out, this would make it Gratian, DN GRATIAN-VS AVGG AVG (not on Wildwinds, apparently Cohen 35, no idea of the RIC number).
