Hi All, I've had some roman coins sitting in DW for a few months and they are finaly coming clean enough to make out the coin. I'm having a very hard time finding this exact coin! Are there any pros here that could tell me not just the emperor (I think I know but don't want to incase I'm wrong), but also which coin it is? I'm new to this and with the back being so dirty still and not familiar with the emperors it's very difficult figuring them out! Thanks as always for the help!!

Late Roman bronze, looks 4th century.

I'd need a much better pic of the other side to even start figuring out what it is, sorry. (And it looks like it hadn't quite cleaned up enough for identification, anyway.)
But if I had to guess, the first three letters after the head look like VSP, which suggests most likely Constantius II.

Thanks! Yes the reverse is still very dirty and needs more time in the bath. This is litteraly the first roman coin I've ever worked on so I am not familiar at all with how to figure them out. I've been looking at charts and I have been seeing pictures of "Constans" that look similar. Would this be the same person you are suggesting or someone else?

@jas, could you please add the diameter and weight of this coin to the thead? That information can help with identification. Thx.
