<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 7892067, member: 87200"]The middle coin and the one on the right are late Roman pieces dating to the 4th century. I can't make out the name of the emperor on the right one, but it likely is Constantine II (337-340 A.D.) or Constantius II (337-361). The reverse type shows two soldiers with a standard in between. The legend reads "GLORIA EXERCITVS" or the glory of the Army. The middle one could be Valens (364-378) but it's hard to make out from the portrait. The coin on the left appears to be a sestertius (large bronze coin) from the Antonine period as a beard is visible, therefore Antoninus Pius (138-161), Marcus Aurelius (161-180) or his son Commodus (180-192). That would be my guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
