    I have a Constantine I bronze follis 313-315AD. I’d like some help with the translation if I could.

    The obverse reads: IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINV SPF AVG.
    Witch I think is: Emperor Caesar ?? ??? Constantine ??? ???


    The reverse reads: IOVI CONSERVATORI
    I’m pretty sure it: Jupiter protector.

    thanks

    Imperator Caesar Flavius Valentinian? Constantinus Pius Felix Augustus.
    Emperor...his names..holy,faithful,saintly..you know, all that stuff..
    Jupiter conservator of our emperor...you were right on that one.
    It is a follis of Constantine the Great minted between 313-314AD.
    You can match up your exact coin here and find the mint.Fun huh?
