Commentary
Poids très lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines avec épaulière décorée et cloutée sous le paludamentum. Six rangs verticaux de pierres. Grande étoile à huit rais au-dessus de la porte de camp. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Ce type n’est d’ailleurs pas repris dans le LRBC.
Very heavy weight. With all its surface silver plating. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Thin pteryges with decorated and studded shoulder guard under the paludamentum. Six vertical rows of stones. Large eight-pointed star above the camp gate. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This type is not included in the LRBC

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.
