Awesome find! No chance of anything like that here in the USA

Definitely a GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse with two standards, plug that into the search box on ancient rome and it'll give you just a few pages to look through and try to match the face. Having text above the head narrows it down a bit more

Try this one, the collar and the few visible letters look like a match for the face, and mintmark looks right as well

​This one has a different reverse type: these are not soldiers but two victories holding shield with vows written on it. Lettering is rather VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP.
