Unidentified Roman Bronze

[bhx7 222]

Hi Guys

Looking to identify this one. I can't seem to find it. I think it is Constantine, possibly within the "Falling Horseman" types, but cant seem to work out the extra on the reverse.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

looks like a barbaric? reproduction of a constans or constantanious II AE follis,

can see the start of the legend

"DN CON....""

I agree though I am no expert.

As you say it has to be a barborous type. I have scoured the pages online as well as a few books and it just isn't sophisticated enough to be a Roman issue. Plus it looks like the horseman himself is stabbing the horse!  I've now looked at other barborous types and this is actually a very nice example of its kind, so I am still very happy with it. Totally appreciate you both taking the time to reply.

Cheers Brian

IMO a very collectable coin , more so than a constantine bronze anyway , there are hundreds of millions of them around

I totally agree!

I'm also on board with it being barbarous, and I'll add that I'd judge the condition for such to be exceptional.
