I told Bobbyhelmet I would be posting several Constantine era coins I would need help in attributing. Well here is another. I cannot make out anything in exergue, but in the left field there appears to be a Epsilon, but it may be part of the fallen horseman. Thanks for looking

My initial guess would be RIC VIII Thessalonica 189 but far from sure and not got much time atm.

Maybe it could be a steer in the right (or even wrong!) direction for someone else though.

I found two with the Epsilon in the left field.

1. Constantinople RIC VIII 115

2. Antioch RIC VIII 144

There are probably more, but that was a quick check.

Of the choices my guess is Thessalonika but that is a guess. Of the group, Thessalonika used the field letter to indicate the workshop so you find the set with A through E for 1 through 5. The other mints used the E in that location as a mark of the series with the workshop indicated in exergue following the city letters. The linked Antioch clearly shows ANB or shop #2). The E used by Constantinople in this way tends to have a central bar that looks like a Y on its side. More experienced collectors would more certainly recognize the portrait style but my amateur level on these suggests Thessalonika.
