Inscription reads: CONSTANTINVS NOB C, reverse is two soldiers standing on either side of two standards holding a spear and resting their hands on a shield. Inscription looks like GLORIA EXERCITVS, Siscia mint. Augustus from 337-340 AD. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 09/09/2009 7:48 pm I can't see a second "N"; I believe the obverse legend says FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C, which would be Constantius II during his period as "caesar", or junior emperor, from 324 to 337 AD. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
