    Have a look on Wildwinds under Constantius II. It would be helpful if you could identify the mint. You may be able to match the image of the soldiers and standards, the mint would get you there quicker.

    I believe I see a DN IUL...on the obverse ending in a NOBC....Could it be a Julian II (The Apostate) as Caesar example??

    I think Pish has the right of it. Constantius II

    I was given this list a few years ago. It is supposed to be a list of all the legends for the Cons* emperors. I am not sure that it is 100 percent complete, but it certainly helps.
