Perhaps I am losing my mind V.K. As a fellow lover of the Late Roman Empire you should get this in one go from the hint I gave on the last page.

Reverse : Two soldiers standing either side of a standard, with GLORIA EXERCITVS around, with CONSI below AE3-4 really hard to tell it could go either way Constantinople 10th officina The battle was the Battle of Mursa Major This page is lacking a bit but this is the "meat" of it if anyone is interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mursa_Major

With a chin like that and how you selected the cut-out, it looks rather like a misstrike. But I still venture a guess:
Alexander III (of Macedonia)?

I always thought that was Hercules not actually Alexander the Great ? Still a wonder full looking coin though .
