Uncertain mint, i noted Ravenna but this can be from Roma. Obverse legend with GRT.

This coin is the var B of RIC X (n°2063): large wreath with base-ties XIIX. 

I notice that all Solidi have a double pearl necklace while the smaller denominations only have a single necklace. All of the coins that I have seen (Solidi, Semisses, Tremisses), have a ribbon protruding from the letters G on the obverse.
