Going for a walk in the woods so I probably won't get back to this for a few hours.

 

Valens.

 

I thought Ken was a New Yorker?

 

Not Valens.

 

constantius ii

 

I am afraid not.

 

Someone post a Greek portrait next!

 

OK!



It's obviously Alexander, but can you name the ruler under which this coin was minted? Obviously I can't post the reverse of the coin or I'd think it would be fairly obvious to most. So who can guess the ruler under which this Alexander tet was minted just by portrait style?

I'll give some street cred too to whomever can guess the Kingdom or Empire but not the ruler.

 

You have to guess the guy on my coin before you post your greek coin.
That's the rules
Your coin looks like it was struck under Seleucus I, aka the founder of the Seleucid kingdom. The style is consistent with the mint at Babylon. What a nice coin!

 

You win. And I'm sorry

 

@Sallent
No problem

 

Anyone else fancy a guess?
Hint 1: This Emperor served with Julian II against the alemmani in the 350's, and would later find himself fighting them decades later.

 

Constantius 1?
