Hello All,

Ive got here an roman coin with helmet which I have not seen before. It looks very different then the roman constantine coin with helmet and romulus and remus.
This one probably another emperor?

Does someone knows more about this piece?

It is still Constantine I - this reverse type (victories inscribing a shield over an altar - the legend is a long mess) was often paired with a helmeted obverse bust. Its actually quite commonly faked by the barbarian tribes around (and outside) of the empire and I reckon this one is probably one of those contemporary imitations.
