Commentary
Série lourde. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Le fait que Vétranion soit lauré, alors que Constance II est diadémé, semblerait confirmer une subordination du premier au second. Après le 25 décembre 350 et son abdication, Vétranion rentra dans la vie privée.
Heavy series. Type 3 ribbons with pelleted ends. The fact that Vétranion is laureate, while Constantius II is diademed, would seem to confirm a subordination of the first to the second. After December 25, 350 and his abdication, Vétranion returned to private life

Historical background
VETRANIO
(1/03-25/12/350)
Commander in Illyria, Vetranion, is immediately proclaimed after the death of Constans. Constantia, Constance's sister and Hanniballien's widow, convinces him to accept the purple. Magnentius tries to negotiate with Vétranion who finally rallies to Constantius II. He abdicated before the Emperor on December 25, 350 and retired to Prusa in Bithynia, where he died in 356.
