[QUOTE="Teddydogno1, post: 2006214, member: 71226"]I think the above is the correct general attribution. I've been doing some searching (online...I haven't yet decided which books I need to own-this is only my second Roman coin) and I've found some similar coins, but not yet anything exactly the same. It is a small bronze a little smaller than a dime. Here it is: [ATTACH=full]360353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]360354[/ATTACH] I found a listing for a quite similar coin (identical reverse and similar obverse): Constantius II, AE3, Siscia. 337-341 AD CONSTANTI-VS 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: BSIS dot in crescent RIC VIII Siscia 97, rates Scarce. This coin, though, says only CONSTAN and I can't really tell what it is supposed to say in front of the face--S****C. Any help completing/correcting the attribution are welcome! Thanks. Rob[/QUOTE]
