Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. La légende du droit est au datif (dédicace). Au droit, le portrait semble orné d’une égide devant le cou. Sur cet exemplaire d’autre part, nous semblons apercevoir une main qui sort du buste posé à plat et serait alors un nouveau type de buste complètement inédit pour l’atelier. Au revers, l’autel est orné d’une croisette.

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.
