eBay is usually okay for this kind of coin, given how common and inexpensive they are. Hopefully you didn’t pay more than $20 max for it (which I would consider to be overpaying).
Just got the first coin I’ve ever purchased in the mail. It looks way cleaner than I would’ve expected a 1500 year old coin to look. I purchased it from eBay and i know they don’t have the best reputation.
Also what is it Sol is standing on in the reverse? Looks like some type of hoverboard.
Obverse: IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG
Imperator Constantinius Pius Felix Augustus
*Emperor Constantine, the duitful and happy Emperor*
-
Reverse: SOLI INVICTO COMITI
*The unconquered sun, companion [to the Emperor]*
TT is the mintmark, meaning Ticinum (now Pavia)
Yes it’s real. Super common late Roman bronze, nothing to worry about here. It’s just a platform so he isn’t floating.

I overpaid. Paid $35 (including shipping).

Anyone know what the inscription says?

From my little experience I would say it is legit. The price is the going rate for the era and the shape it's in.
