Hi

As mentioned in my introduction I have a few coins that I am struggling to identify. I have attached some images of the first coin. The coin was in my Roman selection however I have a feeling it may be Greek. Could anyone help me with the ID

It is a Roman coin from around 330-340 AD, a common type issued to celebrate the foundation of Constantinople. The inscription reads CONSTANTINOPOLIS and the head is the personification of the city. The reverse shows Victory standing on a prow. The text below her indicates the mint, which could be Thessalonica, but it is hard to see. If it is, it can be this one: http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.....230?lang=en
