Hello,

I bought some uncleaned coins and need some help identifying them. Here are two that have some details. I am really interested in finding out more about the first one, the second one I believe is Constantine III (?). I'm still new to this so I appreciate any help I can get - Thank you

The first is a byzantine and I'm the last persont o go for for that.

Second isn't constantine III, who is innnncredibly rare and valuable (and didnt mint this type and was ages after this period), but I understand the confusion (I did that sort of thing as a newbie). If you read the remaining side (the useful side, luckily) you'll see the text DN VALENTINIA-. This means this coin was minted by Valentinian.

While I cant be sure of the full id, I can hazard a guess.
Valentinian I
Obverse: DN VALENTINI-ANVS PF AVG
Reverse: GLORIA RO-MANORVM
Mint mark: D Gamma SISC
Right Field: star over A
Mint City: Siscia
RIC Reference: RIC IX Siscia 5a
Rated: c (common)
Size: AE3
Date:364-367

The only thing variable in that is the mint mark, the rest is true.

Thank you so much. I learn something new every time I get on this page. I guess I was looking at too many pictures with the second one.

Can you take a clearer picture of the first coin?

I will try, but I am having a hard time zooming in with my camera. I was looking at a catalog and it looks a lot like Alexius I (#1932)
