Tried as I might I still could not figure this one out. I thought this one I could do, but failed I did.

I went to Wildwinds and searched for 'IMP Condia '. I thought it might be constantius_(I, II, or II) could not find any matches. Then tried Constanstine - no luck.
Where o' where did I go astray?
And don't say 'When attempting to identify ancients'

Camera shifted color - Coin appears to be a bronze and about 30mm in diameter.

This coin is of Gordian III (Caes. 238 AD, Aug. 238-244 AD).
Here's the info:

RIC 335a -- AE Sestertius

OBV. IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, bust right
REV. SECVRIT PERPET S-C, Securitas standing left, legs crossed,
with sceptre, resting arm on column

Good example here:

"Camera shifted color - Coin appears to be a bronze and about 30mm in diameter."

Here's a suggestion...photograph your coins on a white background. This corrects the white balance.
