Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées terminés par un cabochon rond gemmé. Petite fibule d’attache. Ptéryges à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Cette émission, frappée après la mort de Constantin II en avril 340 est l’une des premières avec l’ancien nom d’Arles “Arelatum” au lieu de “Constantina” en l’honneur de Constantin II, utilisée de 326 à 340. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends finished with a round gem-set cabochon. Small attachment fibula. Pteryges barely visible under the paludamentum. This issue, struck after the death of Constantine II in April 340, is one of the first with the old name of Arles “Arelatum” instead of “Constantina” in honor of Constantine II, used from 326 to 340. This type is in fact much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


CONSTANS

(25/12/335-18/01/350)

Augustus

Constans was born in 320 and received the title of Caesar on December 25, 333. Made august after September 9, 337 with his two other brothers, Constantine II and Constantius II, he soon became angry with his elder brother, who died in April 340. After the death of his brother, Constans recovers the heritage of Constantine II and obtains the charge of the West. A maiorina is struck on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of Rome in 348, an anniversary recalled by the reverse legend "the Return of Happy Times". Constans is assassinated at the beginning of the year 350.
