Your coin is Honorius with a reverse of GLORIA ROMANORVM; Emperor standing right, head left, his right hand on the head of a kneeling captive, his left hand extended over a kneeling suppliant. I can't make out your mintmark but this type was issued from Rome, Aquileia and Siscia.

2.9 grams is very heavy.  But that is not problematic.  These coins were struck al-marco, meaning individual weights did not matter, even though there was a standard.  I assume it is on a very thick flan.
