Commentary


Les ptéryges sont à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Extraordinaire titulature au droit ! Coin légèrement bouché sur le chrisme au revers. La double maiorina est beaucoup plus rare pour Décence.
The pteryges are barely visible under the paludamentum. Extraordinary title on the obverse! Slightly blocked die on the chrism on the reverse. The double maiorina is much rarer for Decency

Historical background


DECENTIUS

(03/351-18/08/353)

Caesar

Decency, created Caesar by his brother Magnentius in March 351, remained in Gaul to defend the Rhenish Limes against the Frankish invasion fomented at the instigation of Constance with a view to opening a second front. Beaten, Decency locked himself in Sens where he committed suicide on August 18, 353.
