Two soldiers with 1 banner.
I found this coin in France yesterday,
my first roman coin find.
I know it is Constantine but can't find this coin anywhere.

I think it's Constans, not Constantine.

Obverse: Draped and cuirassed bust right, CONSTANS PFAVG
Reverse: two soldiers flanking one standard, "I" on the standard, GLORI AEXER CITVS, (not sure about the mint mark)

based on Tesorillo's excellent site: http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/030/030i.htm

I agree it's Constans with the mint mark of SARL for the Arles mint. It is RIC VIII Arles 55. Nice coin which is rated as rare.

Wow, so my first find was rare! I found another coin with it.
Very corroded.

I found this one beside the first. Reverse is so corroded or damaged
There is nothing to be seen.

Rare does not mean valuable it only means that a limited number of these coins have been recorded. In the condition your coin is in, which I would grade at fine. I'd say the value is $5 - $7.00.
