Not an ancient guy. Need help identifying roman coin

I got this coin the other day. It's from on of the Constantines but that's about as far as I can get.
Any help on what it is and if it's even real?
It's 16mm to 17mm and weighs 1.6G.



Any advice would be appreciated.
Also if I get more into ancients what are the best resources out there for learning about and identifying them?

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Constantinian-era coins are common and can be found cheaply. The bad news is that your coin is a well known fantasy (a reverse that never existed for Constantine) fake. I don’t have a link on hand to prove it but I’m confident yours is not authentic. But! Don’t let that discourage you. There are tons of perfectly authentic ancients out there available at modest sums. Check out Vcoins.

 

Yes, it's a modern fantasy piece. My page on this--

Thank you both.
That would explain why I wasn't able to find a matching coin online.

This coin was in with bulk world coins so i'm not really out anything.

 

whew, thanks. Took a quick look and thought my mind was going boggy, common 4th century Constantine II with a 1st century Judaic reverse.

 

I'm getting to be more and more "an ancient guy," and not just that I own a few ancient coins.
