| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II rendered in the late Roman imperial style, with the effigy encircled by a Latin legend. The diadem consists of a row of pearls, and the cuirass is partially overlaid by a draped paludamentum. The portrait retains the stylistic conventions of official imperial coinage of the mid-fourth century, though with slight irregularities consistent with a Germanic imitative issue. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two enthroned figures, representing Rome and Constantinople, seated facing one another, each holding a shield, with a stacked votive inscription in the central field between them. The entire composition is encircled by a Latin legend, with the mint mark appearing in the exergue. The design derives from the standard GLORIA REI PVBLICAE type issued under Constantius II, here rendered with the characteristic simplification and irregularity typical of Germanic imitative solidi. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This solidus belongs to a class of Germanic imitations struck in the name of Constantius II, almost certainly produced by federate groups operating along the Rhine-Danube frontier who needed a trusted currency for high-value transactions — the imperial portrait and titulature lending legitimacy that no tribal name could provide. The specific attribution to Depeyrot Arl#15/3 places it within the Arles imitative series, suggesting the prototype circulated into Gaul or was copied from specimens moving through that corridor.
Attribution to a specific tribe remains impossible without hoard provenance. The weight of 4.63g sits just below the Constantinian reformed standard of 4.55g average, though individual variation within official issues complicates any diagnostic weight argument.
