Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans perlés de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges bouletées sous le paludamentum. La victoriola que tient Constance II est de grande taille et le globe semble invisible. Ce type pour Constance II semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Type 3 beaded ribbons with pelleted ends. Balled pteryges under the paludamentum. The victoriola held by Constantius II is large and the globe appears invisible. This type for Constantius II appears rarer than general works suggest.
