Well the little roman is certainly house of Constantine - as Constantine I & II and Constantius II all have the same starts to their names, the crucial bit is off the flan.

From the portrait, I'd got for one of the sons rather than the great man himself.

The reverse is 'GLORIA EXERCITAS' with TRS (Trier, in Germany) as the mint signature. As it is a two standards type, this is usually attributed to 330-337AD - probably towards the end of that as the module is quite small (although it felt quite heavy when I held it).
