Help with LRB attribution?

    I've been spending some time attributing some recently cleaned LRB coins..
    Been on a long run of Valens, Constans, Constantine.. so when something slightly different popped up I was second guessing myself..

    Sorry about the pics but no matter what I tried I could not get a better one.
    The legends are very soft and I just can't decipher enough to be sure on the obverse.
    Just first 2 are FL and the final 6 letters for sure.. IVSNOBC.
    Not great in the pic but I can see the mint as Siscia.

    My guess is:

    Delmatius (Caesar 335-337)
    Obv: FLDELMATIVSNOBC
    Rev: GLOR IAEXERC ITVS
    Mint: Siscia

    *I am hoping I am correct as I do not have a Delmatius.

    Any input is appreciated - even if I am way off.

    Using Tesorillo's pages, it looks like Delmatius to me :)

    Agree. Looks like a gamma before the SIS mintmark, making it RIC vii, p. 456, 239; LRBC 753; Cohen 13; Sear 16878.

    Excellent! That was super fast - thank you all.
    Excited to have a Delmatius and that I may be getting a bit better at this.

    Cheers!
