Hello!
I bought a Roman Nummus recently and I cannot identify what kind exactly it is. I know that it shows Constantinus and the back reads "Gloria Exercitus". But that coin has been minted in a lot of different places and I cannot figure out what the mint mark could be.
My first thought was that the letter in the middle looks like an omega. But I don't think that exists in any mint marks. Maybe an R, O or Q? Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you so much!
Ilona

But which Constantinus? The father or the son? I think it's Constantinus the son, viz. Constantine II.
Note the
placement of the mintmark on this coin which suggests that you have something similar, though with a different officina letter at the end.

gloria ); you'll quickly understand why...

Hello !
The identification is correct.
First officina of Rome "R (wreath) P" for this one, so minted between 333 and 335.
RIC VII #350

Yes, exactly. So, Constantine "Junior", as Caesar (= heir to the throne) under his father.

Oh wow, that was quick. Thank you so much for helping me identify this coin. And also for asking for it to be added to the list so I can then add it to my collection here.
