    Hi. These couple of bronze coins represent Emperor Constantius. If they look different, I know that one of them could be Constantius I or Constantius II or even III. I need your generous comments to find out and elaborate on both obverses and reverses. Many thanks Lol... Charles Const Obv.jpg Const REV.jpg Constantius.jpg Constantius R.jpg

    The first is Constantius II as Augustus, with obverse legend DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG. (A very nice coin, with great detail on both sides!)

    The second is Constantius I Chlorus (father of Constantine the Great and grandfather of Constantius II), with obverse legend FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB C.

    Here's one from my collection, also from the Antioch mint...
