[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1876795, member: 58941"]My earlier post.. could be anything in the exergue...I see what Doug sees too, but I can make it TESA too if I try hard. If CONSA its not Constantius. I am pretty certain its Constantius as there are too many letters after the STAN for it to be SPFAVG which would be the Constans obv lettering. Looks more like TIVSPFAUG Assuming the mintmark is 4 characters and the one on the far right isnt the rudder, I would think TESA was the best candidate...... Surely we can get a better pic of the exergue? Its not Constans, its Constantius II....I am pretty certain of that, but please someone correct me if i am making an ass of myself here...am I missing something? likely mintmarks/officinae assuming nothing in R/L fields on obverse, which I dont see. alea tsa* head diadem plain tesa asis and variations aqp. rp parl parl. plg and variations trp I have been through my book this evening, more for my benefit than anything else......part of my education process. Please take the coin out of the holder and take some decent pics at different angles to show more detail.....before i lose the will to live:mad:[/QUOTE]
