Attribution looks good to me. This a scarce type, the muling of Constantinople and Soldiers/Standard. Nice find. The bust looks barbarous, but the rest of the coin is in official style - an odd combination.

I do not have one of these, but I do have the VRBS ROMA type muled with soldiers/standard...

 

cool coin ken, that is kind of a different style for roma on the obverse.

 

I believe JA is correct. This looks to be barbarous and a very nice pickup.

 

I also agree with all that's been posted...A very cool and interesting piece!!!!

 

thanks guys! the seller was a little vague on his attribution of this one so i was hoping i got it right, i've acquired a fondness for the commemoratives, think i'll be adding more of these to my ancients in the future...

 

The rarest mule of them all is Constantinople with VOT XX MVLT XXX reverse.
