Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Sept rangs verticaux de pierres au revers dans la porte dont le premier est formé de meurtrières ornées de globules et le dernier est orné de globules ce qui est exceptionnel. Sur cet exemplaire, on note un deuxième minuscule globule en fin de marque d’exergue.

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.
