looks like a Constantius11 AE soldier spearing falling enemy horseman type, it needs a gentle cleaning, could be ASIS in ex, or HSIS.

Feinmore 117,
Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Mint mark appears to be SIS.
Back in the day, that was in SISCIA; today it's called Sisak, Croatia.
That mint closed about 387 AD.
Maybe this one:

Constantius II (as mentioned above by SS). AD 337-361.

Welcome to Tnet.

Here are my Dads thoughts:

As SS has correctly suggested the coin is a common CONSTANTIUS II spearing fallen horseman type AD348-355. Full legends are:

Obverse: DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG
Reverse: FEL TEMP REPARATIO (Good Times Return)
Mint in Exergue is ΓSIS which is SISCIA mint and officina (workshop) Γ.
Now known as SISAK - a city in central Croatia located at the confluence of the Kupa, Sava, and Odra rivers.

Very nice centering & detail with what appears to be "Desert Patina" - if it is, and you are capable of painstaking detail while cleaning, this how-to thread on Forum Ancient Coins FORVM is an excellent resource;

Thanks guys I bought in during an auction for $15. His friend found it in a clay pot while metal detecting in Bosnia. He told me the same info y'all just gave me. Thinking of sending it to a coin grader for a slab.

Never heard of anyone slabbing a Roman Coin, it might happen but seems a little crazy to me. The slab would be 4 times the worth of the coin.
