This is Constans, caesar, small bronze

Obverse should be: FL IVL CONSTANS NOB CAES

This type has been struck for Constans in all mints. Without ex. it is impossible to attribute the coin closer.

not trying to impose here, and I appologise for the interuption,  but I don't see it.   the FL IVL I mean

I see 2 letters in from of the inscription  loks more like FL CONSTANS NOB CAES

according to the helvetica tables,  was only minted in Cyzicus  wich would make it  RIC VIII Cyzicus 10  with a bust of B4 Laureated, drapped and cuirassed  left

then again,  I could be wrong too  :)
