Antioch bronze ancient?

Yes. The four sons of Constantine the Great were Crispus, Constantius II, Constans, and Constantine II.

I can't find a Coin from Thessalonica that has that reverse...

Thessalonica minted that reverse, but maybe it's not even Thessalonica. I'm just taking a guess on the mintmark. Any chance you could get a real camera with macro and take a high resolution image?

 

My earlier post..

could be anything in the exergue...I see what Doug sees too, but I can make it TESA too if I try hard. If CONSA its not Constantius. I am pretty certain its Constantius as there are too many letters after the STAN for it to be SPFAVG which would be the Constans obv lettering. Looks more like TIVSPFAUG
Assuming the mintmark is 4 characters and the one on the far right isnt the rudder, I would think TESA was the best candidate......
Surely we can get a better pic of the exergue?

Its not Constans, its Constantius II....I am pretty certain of that, but please someone correct me if i am making an ass of myself here...am I missing something?
likely mintmarks/officinae assuming nothing in R/L fields on obverse, which I dont see.

I have been through my book this evening, more for my benefit than anything else......part of my education process.
Please take the coin out of the holder and take some decent pics at different angles to show more detail.....before i lose the will to live

 

You are probably taking a photograph of one as we speak......

 

Lol, Pete. I'll defer to you on this one. I'm too tired and lazy at the moment to hunt through references. Besides, we need good pics before anything else. No offense, transamericancoin, but your second set of pics was not an improvement.

 

Hey I was using a scanner. I can barely see the coin myself

When you have better pictures, post them, until then we can only speculate as to what the coin 'might' be.
