So you keep your fine Constantine site going?

A bit of a late reply (just shy of a decade), but yes I am keeping the site going. I am always adding material like the assorted rulers pages- 

http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/Rulers/

and a page about a new reverse for Constantine

http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/VICTORIA/

plus some pages get udated, my unofficial coins page had a pretty large overhaul recently

a few years ago I also made a new homepage

It’s Valentinian I with a SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE reverse from the Siscia mint

It's pretty blurry, but I think that you have Licinius I, like the one below.

You are correct that it is Arcadius. The third letter in the obverse legend is an A, which means it can only be Arcadius-- D N ARCADIVS P F AVG

Your coin is Valentinian I with a GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse from the Sirmium mint, struck in A.D. 364

Better late than never 

Crispus

A.D. 321

CRISPVS NOB CAES; laureate head right.

The oldest coins I have

But neither of these coins has a date on it. This thread was actually about your oldest coin...with a date on it.

The thread seems to have evolved though!

Thank you all for the kind replies.

I am always updating my site and have recently added new material and some new pages like

Page on Metallurgy

Ancient sources for Constantine

and a page that has nothing to do with Constantine or ancient coins, but it does have a pic of a Confedrate $50 bill

A Confederate in Company E

Rheskuporis V-- King of the Bosporus

AD 323

AE Stater

Obverse- Draped bust of king facing right with a trident in right field.

Reverse- Laureate and draped bust of the Roman Emperor (Constantine or Licinius) facing right, eagle on a globe in right field.

year KX below (620 = AD 323)

Struck at Cherson, in the Crimea (in the north part of the Black Sea)

Anokhin Bosporus 769a

Since this coin is dated to AD 323, the emperor on the reverse could be either Constantine or Licinius, but I prefer to believe that it is Constantine.
