    Can anybody help with the identification of the mint on this follis of Constantius II. The coin has a small flan, but the mint mark is clearly legible as RBT.

    Is this a Trier or Rome mintmark?

    the RB in the mintmark likely/maybe stands for Roma Beata (Blessed Rome) and the T is the workshop.

    I have two more mints of this type: Antioch and Alexandria. I kind of like the Empire's small change:

    Just saw that I also have Arles and Aquilea (I always wondered what the symbol between the two soldiers on the Aquilea issue is meant to be - a cross or an Egyptian ankh sign?):

    Trier is usually TR-, with the T in front. If T is in the end, it's more likely the officia number.

    Here's a (potential) imitation, but has the Trier mintmark:
