I think this could be Theodosius echizento, I'm not too good with these later coins (trying to build up my knowledge now) but I think I can see an 'ODO' at 10'O clock. After accepting this is there its pretty easy to fit the proceeding 'DN THE' in. The legend would probably break there and you would have 'SIVS PF AVG' on the other side.
If the reverse is 'VICTORIA AVGGG' (almost certainly is) then your RIC would be RIC IX Rome 56b and you choice of mints would be 'RP', 'RT' or 'RQ'. Of these I would say 'Q' could be ruled out and its 50/50 with the other two. I'd probably guess at 'P' as the character does not look symmetrical to me, although its difficult to tell if this is by design or damage.
Much better pics btw, you got a new camera or set-up?
