Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constans I facing right, rendered in a late Roman imperial style with finely detailed diadem beads and layered drapery over the shoulder. The effigy displays a youthful portrait with short hair dressed beneath the pearl diadem. The Latin legend D N CONSTANS P F AVG runs around the periphery, identifying the emperor as Our Lord Constans, Pius and Fortunate Augustus. The field is relatively flat and the flan shows the characteristic irregular edges of a hammered bronze issue.

Aanvullende informatie

The Vota coinage of 347–348 was struck to celebrate the decennalia of Constans and the vicennalia of Constantius II simultaneously — a calculated piece of dynastic coordination between the two surviving sons of Constantine the Great, who by this point had divided the empire between them after the violent elimination of Constantine II in 340. Antioch's mint was among the most prolific contributors to this issue, producing across multiple officinae.

RIC VIII 116 is among the commoner Antiochene types of this vota series, though the small module reflects the ongoing debasement of the bronze coinage that had been accelerating since the 330s.
