    This is the third of four coins I bought without a description.

    On the reverse it looks to me like one soldier with a spear and shield is standing over his fallen enemy.

    I didn't just post this question. I'm not lazy, I looked around and tried to read the lettering but I can't.
    Thanks for your help.

    I will give you just a hint - fallen horseman.
    Try to search this and see what do you find out.

    Your mint Mark is just about gone. Not that it matters much anyways, it’s a Constantius II FTR, and you could just leave it at that

    It's bare headed which means it's a Caesar...and you can make out the obverse legend.
