Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 6:50 pm I recently came into possession of a number of coins and I am having trouble identifying some of them. I feel that I should be able to identify this one, but unfortunately . . . . Can someone help, please? Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 8:28 pm Echizento, and HawkHybrid, I thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have posted another bunch of coins since this one. Are you able to help me with those, please? Many thanks, again. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 07:38 am It is indeed Constantius Gallus, a more uncommon ruler. Note the difference in hair between this one and the other one - ancient sources tell us that Gallus had luxurious flowing blonde hair, and the die sinkers made note of that, allowing us to tell the difference between this and the issues of Constantius II (both having CONSTANTIVS in the legend).
