Constantius II, Bronze Coin

Subject

Constantius II, Bronze Coin (AE3), ca. 334-335 CE. Siscia mint. OBVERSE: FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C (Flavius Julius Constantius Nobilis Consul), laureate, cuirassed bust right. REVERSE: GLORIA EXERCITVS (Glory of the army), two soldiers flanking two standards, ASIS in exergue.

Description

Constantius was the third son of Constantine the Great. He was in control of the eastern Roman empire while his two brothers struggled for the west. He survived after his brothers had been killed and successfully ruled until 361 CE, when he died on the way to Cilicia most likely as the result of malaria.

Both these coins are likely from the same minting.
