Message:: [QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1789156, member: 15445"]Just a little more information for the OP- On the obverse you can read CONSTAN to the left side of the head.  The name continues on the right side of the head TIUS. The reverse depicts a Roman soldier standing on the right (facing left) and he is spearing a fallen enemy that is located on the lower left.  This reverse type is called (fallen horseman) & you can see some decent detail in your fallen horseman. I cannot read the string of 5 letters at the bottom of your reverse design. A couple of the letters at the bottom of the reverse design would indicate where the coin was minted.  Others here could probably tell you much more about the coin.  Those letters below the reverse design are referred to as being "in exergue". The coin is 1,650 to 1,675 years old.  There is a lot of information you can tell people about that little piece of bronze.[/QUOTE]
