Not Constantius II? Then who?

    I have looked at Constantius II for this coin but (almost) all of the fallen horseman "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" types have an obverse legend of D N CONSTANTIUS P F AVG and I don't believe that that is the obverse legend on this coin.
    Can someone please tell me what they think the obverse legend is please, so that I can go on to attribute this coin?
    Also, is the mintmark "TS" (Thessalonika)?
    Thank-you,

    @maridvnvm Thank you, Martin.
    In that case I believe it to be
    CONSTANTIUS GALLUS RIC VIII Thessalonica 169.

    Could it be Rome? RS in exe.

    I just thought the style was more consistent with Rome

    Similar in style to mine from a different issue?

    @maridvnvm I agree with you, totally, but I cannot find a G5/D1 with a mintmark of 'RS' in RIC. Am I doing something wrong?
    I know that 'Wildwinds' shows RIC VIII Rome 268 with a mintmark of 'RS' but 268 in RIC has a mintmark of 'RP'. (Also, I believe the word 'REPARATIO' to be unbroken on my coin, and not RE_PARATIO.)
