Copse Field - Day 1 - Roman Silver...

[CRUSADER]

Finally got back out after tons of rain, some have over 50 days in a row!
Surprised to see that they had extended to game cover (Corn) down the edge I want to start to detect. They normally only have a small area but had expanded it by 75% down 1 edge to create an L shape of cover!
Anyways we did 2 hrs 15 mins gridding;
(Mate had 12 Roman Coins)
1st C AD Roman Fibula (Brooch)
14 Roman Bronze Coins
1 Silver washed of Probus
Silver Siliqua of Julian II:

Record ID: SUR-D9DD91 - ROMAN coin

Bottom right coin features Romulus and Remus; perhaps a Constantine coin minted between 330-346 AD.

Mackyaydon, I'm guessing you must have a few expensive books that go into that kind of detail regarding roman coins. It's on another level. I mean that in a good way. Hoping some of this knowledge rubs off on me.

https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/city_commemoratives/t.html To be a little picky they are categorised as City Commemoratives. (Done during the period of Constantine the Great)
Lots of variations & mine was on the Reverse; Wolf and twins left, star-wreath-star above (Mint ?CONST)

Picky is good...Brilliant stuff!

Small coin above 'Remus' is called 'Gloria Exercitvs' (Glory of the Army) minted under Constantine the Great between 336 and 342 AD in at least 15 different mints. Mint ID-ed by discerning the variation in the position of the soldiers and the variations in the military standard between them.
Unfortunately, these eyes don't see enough to make a call.

CRU: Do the reverse sides of these coins provide a better chance to ID?

You got the reverse type correct, sadly I can only see the centre letter of a 3 letter Mint, so no Mint ID. The Obverse is of Constantius II.

very cool Romans!

A more precise attribution of your Tetricus coin might be (as per Wildwinds):

Tetricus II, antoninianus, irregular mint. AD 271-274. 19 mm. 2.22 g. C P E TETRICVS PF AVG, radiate, draped bust right. / ABVNDANTIA AVG, Abundantia standing right, emptying a cornucopiae. RIC 49 var (Tetricus I); Lanz 132, 491.

Unfortunately the reverse is in bad condition & its a Tetrius I (not II), all that can been seen is a single figure standing left.
