Hello yall ivw got this here likely “Watchhouse/gatehouse/guardhouse” follis need help with deciding which Ruler is on it and such 

 

The obverse bears the face of someone 

 

The only text i could read is along the lines of “…INVSAV”

 

The reverse has the famous guardhouse/watchhouse/gatehouse

 

Text i can read there is the following

“…IDEH TIAE…”

 

Mint mark or where it often is written seems to be along the line of “S..ATA”

 

The weight is 2.97g

The lenght is 18.75-18.95mm

 

INUSAV would be CONSTANTINVS AVG. That makes it either Constantine the Great or his son Constantine II.

 

The reverse looks like PROVIDENTIAE AVG OR  PROVIDENTIAE AVGG, and between the two Constantines, I think only Constantine the Great used it. (Constantaine II used the reverse, but only when he was Caesar, not Augustus, which is what AVG reflects on the obverse.)

I have found this site to be really helpful with 4th century coins.

Constantine II is one of his sons.
