    The other two coins turned out to be Armenian from King Hetoum I rule. This coin, like the previous two, was also found by my cousin in Turkey back in the 1970s. I took two pictures of the obverse but none of the reverse since there isn't anything remaining on the reverse (worn smooth). Thanks!

    Hello,

    Looks like a Genio Populi Romani of the Constantine era

    yeah, those coins from the era of Constantine The Great look like the same design. Too bad my coin isn't in better condition (especially the obverse) so that we might be able to better pin it down. Oh well, the coin was probably laying on the ground for 1500 years.:p

    Shame on me, I wrote Genio Populi Romani, where I meant Soli Invicto Comiti, which is of course what this reverse is, as shown by acanthite on his pics. I apologize...
