    This looks like Constantius II with two captives. But, I can't make out the mint mark. Any good eyes than can help would be appreciated.

    it seems the last two letters in the mintmark are KA, so SMKA for Cyzicus.

    Thanks. I wasn't sure if that was A or Delta.

    SMKA seems likely, but I wouldn't completely rule out SMANA.

    I would, because the two captives series used ANA as a mintmark.
