Roman? coin ID

Hello everyone

Can anyone help me with identifying this one.....I think someone previously told me it came from Turkey originally.

If the thumbnails are no good I can have another go.

Many thanks

Yo dunce - Your pictures are fine, more than enough to ID it as Constantius Gallus. What's really interersting is the mintmark appears to be from Siscia, maybe ASIS or BSIS, but the legend of DNCONSTANTI-VSNOBCAES isn't listed in RIC VIII for Siscia. NIce coin - great blue patina!
