As a fellow lover of the Late Roman Empire you should get this in one go from the hint I gave on the last page.

In order to keep the game going. Constantius II as Caesar Struck: 324-337 CE Size : 17.1 x 17.5 mm Weight : 2.20 grams Obverse : Head of Constantius II right, with FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C around. Reverse : Two soldiers standing either side of a standard, with GLORIA EXERCITVS around, with CONSI below AE3-4 really hard to tell it could go either way Constantinople 10th officina The battle was the Battle of Mursa Major This page is lacking a bit but this is the "meat" of it if anyone is interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mursa_Major |

With a chin like that and how you selected the cut-out, it looks rather like a misstrike. But I still venture a guess:
Alexander III (of Macedonia)?

I always thought that was Hercules not actually Alexander the Great ? Still a wonder full looking coin though .
