Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Le buste est seulement lauré et drapé, pas cuirassé sur cet exemplaire. Seulement deux exemplaires recensé par P. Ferrando en collections publiques. L’exemplaire photographié dans son ouvrage est de bien moindre qualité que l’exemplaire ici présenté.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. The bust is only laureate and draped, not cuirassed on this example. Only two examples recorded by P. Ferrando in public collections. The example photographed in his work is of much lower quality than the example presented here.

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.
