Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Au revers, le cabochon de la couronne est ornée d’une étoile à huit rais. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Émission particulière avec Constance II, le regard tourné vers le ciel.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. On the reverse, the crown cabochon is decorated with an eight-pointed star. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. Special issue with Constance II, looking towards the sky

Historical background


CONSTANTIUS II

(8/11/324-3/11/361)

Augustus

Constantius II was born on August 7, 318 in Sirmium. He was raised to the cesarat on November 8, 324 at the age of six. He will reign 37 years, one of the longest reigns of the 4th century. After having crushed the revolt of Magnentius, he was alone august with a Caesar, Constance Galle, whom he had executed in 354. On November 6, 355, he elevated his cousin Julian to the title of Caesar. He went to Rome in 357, then to Sirmium, which he made his capital. Faced with the Sassanid danger, he left this region in 359 and settled in Antioch. Julien is proclaimed august in February 360. Constantius dies on November 3, 361, leaving Julien at the head of the Empire.
