Going though the late roman coins...

Constantinopolis---Rome-Mint

I think this Constantinople commemorative was minted in Rome. That would be the top of the R on the left. Looks like RIC VII, Rome, 355, but with as asterisk in exergue. Is that correct?

Is victory supposed to be on a ship?

that is a star in the mintmark-- R star E

and Victory is standing on the prow of a ship...The victory on a prow type alludes to the naval victory of Crispus and his subsequent capture of Byzantium (soon to be re-named Constantinople).
