The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are here again") coinage was launched in 348 AD to mark the 1100th anniversary of Rome's founding — a massive, empire-wide bronze issue struck simultaneously across nearly every mint. Cyzicus, situated on the Propontis in what is now northwestern Turkey, was among the most productive eastern mints of the period and contributed heavily to the flood of these pieces into circulation. They were struck in such volume that they remain among the most commonly encountered late Roman bronzes today.
Constans himself was assassinated at Helena (modern Elne, in Gaul) in January 350, overthrown by the usurper Magnentius — cutting the reign, and this issue, abruptly short.
