[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24883697, member: 26430"]It can't be Serdica or Ostia (those mints were not active at all under Constantius II, as far as I know, and definitely not for this type of coin). Both Guido Bruck (2014, [I]Late Roman Bronze Coinage: An Attribution Guide[/I]... [English edition p. 114]) and Carson, Hill, and Kent (1965, [I]Late Roman Bronze Coinage, AD 324-498[/I]) give the same seven mints as possibilities: Treves/Trier, Ludgnum/Lyons, Arles, Aquileia, Rome, Siscia, and Thessalonica. (I haven't checked any other print refs. but I'm sure they say the same.) If you don't have any print references to look up the usual late Roman bronze types (there are several different ones that are good for these and quite affordable), the popular online resources do well enough for coins like this, as long as there's nothing particularly rare about them: wildwinds (linked above), [URL='https://www.tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm']tesorillo[/URL], or OCRE: [URL]https://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=constantius+II+VICTORIAE+two+victories+AE3[/URL] All of those illustrate at least a couple examples from each of the mints listed above. It may not be possible to tell for sure from what remains of the exergue, though. But it has to be one of those seven mints unless one was left out by mistake.[/QUOTE]
