Commentary


Poids très léger. Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Imitation hybride associant un droit de Constantin II césar avec la titulature du l’Auguste. Ce type se rencontre dans les imitations (Bastien I66, pl. XXIV). Néanmoins notre exemplaire semble de très bon style. Les deux premières lettres de Providentiae (PR) sont néanmoins inversées. Sept rangs verticaux de pierres. Semble inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés.

Historical background


CONSTANTINE II

(1/03/317-04/340)

Caesar

Born in February 317 according to the most recent chronology, Constantine the Younger receives on coins the title of Caesar like his half-brother Crispus and his cousin Licinius, as well as the title of Prince of Youth. Constantine II is the eldest son of Constantine I and Fausta. In September 337, he received the "pars occidentalis" from the Empire with subjection to his brother Constans, Constantius II having the "pars orientalis". Very quickly, Constantin and Constans fall out. The eldest is eliminated in April 340.
