echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 11:32 am to the community The coin is late ancient Roman. Without the legend it's a little difficult to say for sure who it is though. Most likely it's either Constantine I (The Great) or his son Constantius II. Report this Post to the Staff
Owl3000 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 12:03 pm Thanks for the reply, I did think Constantine with looking through some of the coins on google but I couldn't find any with the same picture on the back, I've only been detecting a few weeks and finding it really interesting finding out about the coins Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 2:48 pm Actually I took a better look at the reverse and narrowed it down to either Constans or Constantius II. Report this Post to the Staff

Yeoldecoins Valued Member 384 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 5:33 pm I think from pics it may be a Constans AE centenialis, Fel temp reparatio reverse, ie. emperor on galley Better pics would help or at least any lettering with/without gaps which you can make out and also (very important) weight and diameter.

Yeoldecoins Valued Member 384 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 5:36 pm either a US or NS at top right making it Constans or Constantius PF can also be seen so PF AUG most likely. What if any lettering is beneath the galley at the bottom, or 'exergue' Report this Post to the Staff
