I bought a couple of coins for TC as the seller's postage was extortionate. TC said I could post them here. Please let me know if I have the attribution right:

Constantius II
AE3 "Campgate"
Constantius II AD 324-361
obv: FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C -
Laureate bust left, draped and cuirassed.
Rev: PROVIDEN-TIAE CAESS -

Exe: SMKB (dot) Cyzicus mint:
AD 325-326 = RIC VII, 38 (s) Scarce

Looks right to me. This is a nicely struck one too. This coin gives us a view of the young pup before he grew his fangs out . If you know what I mean.

Good, I hate it when I get it wrong. The coin is much better in the hand than the pictures suggest.

I think it is actually Heraclea RIC 84 SMHBdot

Compare these two

Cyzicus RIC 38
Tc-On-A-Roll---Constantius-II
Heraclea RIC 84
Tc-On-A-Roll---Constantius-II

A WIN! A WIN! I don't own a Metal Detector, and anyway, the Romans didn't make it out this way (Australia) until the mid 50's, (A.D.1950's that is), so the only chance that I/we have of finding the odd 'treasure' is on the Internet, and that is about as likely as finding a lost contact lens on a football field, so whenever we have a win, no matter how small, we celebrate it! YIPPEE!
