Commentary


Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux. Sur cet exemplaire, l’exergue est légèrement bouchée sur le S de TRS ; devant le T, on pourrait deviner une marque.
This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. On this example, the exergue is slightly blocked on the S of TRS; in front of the T, one could guess a mark

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.
