Commentary


Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Buste richement décoré orné d’une petite tête de Méduse. Le globe nicéphore est orné de trois globules et d’un double losange. Cette variété semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le signalent les ouvrages courants.
Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Richly decorated bust adorned with a small head of Medusa. The Nicephorus globe is decorated with three globules and a double lozenge. This variety seems much rarer than current works indicate.

Historical background


CONSTANTINE II

(1/03/317-04/340)

Caesar

Born in February 317 according to the most recent chronology, Constantine the Younger receives on coins the title of Caesar like his half-brother Crispus and his cousin Licinius, as well as the title of Prince of Youth. Constantine II is the eldest son of Constantine I and Fausta. In September 337, he received the "pars occidentalis" from the Empire with subjection to his brother Constans, Constantius II having the "pars orientalis". Very quickly, Constantin and Constans fall out. The eldest is eliminated in April 340.
