The third one appears to have been struck at Antioch (again, no great revelation). Captives depicted on the reverses of the first two, victory on the third. You may just have to comb through the Wildwinds site starting around the time of Constantine to find plausible matches. You'll certainly be able to narrow the search for the third one down by concentrating on that mint and reverse type.

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 11:41 pm First coin is SALVS REIPVBLICAE reverse type, Victory dragging captive. Hard to tell which emperor Second coin is Valens, unknown mint, GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse, emperor dragging captive I think it is fairly certain that the third coin is also Valens, SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE reverse type from Aquileia Mint mark looks like SMAQ, best guess for me would be SMAQP Edited by Biancasdad 03/26/2016 12:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 11:48 pm The forth coin I am sure is the GLORIA ROMANORVM, 3 emperor reverse type. Starting at one o'clock ish on the obverse it looks like "SIV". If that is the case, then this would be Theodosius II, something similar to this: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...p?coin=53217 Fifth coin is the SPES REI-PVBLICE reverse type. The only two emperors could be Julian II or Constantius II, possible mint mark ALEA which would be Alexandria but that's just a guess Edited by Biancasdad 03/26/2016 12:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

My bad in tagging it as Antioch. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
