    I've been close to figuring this one out, but OCRE doesn't seem to have any with an SIS mint on it. I'm certain it's a Constans, maybe an AE3, and the mint Siscia. Sorry guys I'm really trying before I come here. There's similar backed ones, but they don't have the soldiers, but the two winged Victories. S20200315_0006.jpg S20200315_0007.jpg
    This coin was a chunky mess, so seeing this much detail was really awesome for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    Try Wildwinds.com, there are some Siscia mint coins there under Constans.

    Looks like this to me:

    Constans AE4, Siscia, 346-348 AD. CONSTAN-S PF AVG, rosette-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, two soldiers holding spears and shields with one standard between them. Chi-rho on banner. Mintmark: Delta SIS. RIC VIII Siscia 87.

    Try RIC viii, p. 355, 103-4.

    Agreed, I thinks it's 87 also. http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.8.sis.87

    I think the exergue is either ASIS or BSIS (to my eyes). The officina letter might have been clogged on the die a bit and weakly struck.
