Not that "Emperor" either Echizento.
If you a history nut this should give it away . The Emperor on this coin was born into a very very poor family in Callaecia.

Magnus Maximus?
Btw, your suggestion of Constans was a dirty one - he barely made it into southern Britain, he spent more time in my hometown than in Scotland.

A key feature of Magnus Maximus coins are the strong eyebrows , this is even so on his Siliqua.

Let's revive:  And add what has been resolved so far: 1. It's Roman. 2. It's female. 3. After Antonia. 4. Before the Constantine period. Note: going to remove the image from the older post to avoid confusion. |

Constans was fair game " The source for this visit( to Britannia)Julius Firmicus Maternus, does not provide a reason, but the quick movement and the danger involved in crossing the channel in the dangerous winter months suggests it was in response to a military emergency, possibly to repel the Picts and Scots"
