<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2215406, member: 19463&quot;]That is a good one to start since it is completely legible.&nbsp; RBT is a Rome mark (one of several they used).&nbsp; The two soldiers / two standards type was used by Constantine the Great and his sons.&nbsp; The legend ends in NOB C for noble Caesar so it is a son whose name precedes that.&nbsp; His first two names Flavius Julius are abbreviated but the third name is what he was known as and that is spelled out.&nbsp; Read it.&nbsp; Be careful because these people often have names only a letter different.&nbsp; Since this prince was named after his grandfather, we put a Roman numeral II after his name but you know that the coin belongs to him since the two soldier type was first issued long after the death of his Grandfather.</p><p><br /></p><p>After you have decided the ruler&#039;s name, read about him on the link below.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantius_II" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantius_II" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantius_II</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the others are not quite as easy but all are identifiable to ruler.&nbsp;&nbsp; I repeat that looking at a book that tells who used which reverses is often the easy way to ID.&nbsp; If you have no book, I have a website that includes several of your group and others here will suggest other web resources.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Buying uncleaned is not a way to get nice coins but it is a way to get practice identifying coins from small clues.&nbsp; It requires Practice. Try to get some of them on your own and report your decisions here.&nbsp; Someone will confirm or correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
