The most likely would be CONSERVATO-RES VRB SVAE - Roma, in hexastyle temple, with globe, shield and scepter, similar to this type (but with Maxentius instead of Constantine):</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>but the fact that you said we&#039;d need a lucky guess makes me suspect it&#039;s something less common, possible from Carthage or Ostia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another Constantine, but with a reverse that&#039;s also on the coins of Maxentius:</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>CONSERVATO-RES KART SVAE - Carthago, holding branches, in hexastyle temple.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Maxentius, from Ostia:</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/Restoration/Maxentius.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Bronze Nummus</p><p>Ostia mint, A.D. 309</p><p>Obv: IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG</p><p>Rev: AET-ERNITAS AVG N - Castor and Pollux, each with star above cap, nude but for chlamys hanging from shoulders, standing, facing each other, leaning on scepter and holding reins to bridled horses; wolf and twins between them</p><p>MOSTΔ in exergue</p><p>RIC 16</p><p>26mm, 6.1g. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the obverse portraits, in particular the eyes and the pointy chin, I would guess Carthage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
