Commentary
Poids léger. C’est l’une des premières émissions où Constans apparaît pour l’atelier de Trèves après sa nomination comme César, le 25 décembre 333. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux pour le dernier fils de Constantin.
Lightweight. This is one of the first issues where Constans appears for the workshop of Trier after his appointment as Caesar, on December 25, 333. Seems much rarer than the general works for the last son of Constantine would suggest
