Anyone here who knows about Roman coins?
This one is supposed to be a find from England from the period 307-337 AD and minted by emperor Constantine the Great, the "genius of the Roman people" (GENIO POPVLI ROMANI). On one side is his image and on the other side the god Jupiter.
However, the text says "CONSTANTIVS" instead of "CONSTANTINVS", does this mean the coin should be dated earlier and the man depicted is actually Constantine the Great's father Constantius?
