Commentary


Poids lourd. Les ptéryges sont visibles sous le paludamentum avec une fibule d’attache sur l’épaule. Portrait légèrement stylisé. Malgré la rareté de ce type, nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente. C’est le cinquième exemplaire recensé. Prendra le numéro 223d dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
Heavyweight. The pteryges are visible under the paludamentum with a fibula attachment on the shoulder. Slightly stylized portrait. Despite the rarity of this type, we have not noted any relevant die identity. This is the fifth example recorded. Will take the number 223d in Supplement III of Bastien

Historical background


MAGNENTIUS

(01/18/350-08/10/353)

Magnentius was proclaimed on January 18, 350 thanks to his speed and significant diplomatic activity which allowed him to seize Brittany, Gaul, Italy and part of the Balkans. However, he failed to gain recognition from Constantius II. Magnentius suffered a severe defeat at Mursa in September 351. Forced to retreat, he lost Italy the following year before seeing Gaul invaded by the generals of Constance. Beaten at Mount Seleucus near Gap, he committed suicide in Lyon on August 10, 353.
