Follis - Constantinus II CAESARVM NOSTRORVM, Arelate

Constantine II was elevated to Caesar in 317 AD at roughly eighteen months old, making him one of the youngest recipients of the title in imperial history. The CAESARVM NOSTRORVM vow coinage issued from Arelate — modern Arles, which had supplanted Lyon as the dominant mint of the western Gallic provinces under Diocletian — was part of a coordinated propaganda effort celebrating the dynasty's junior heirs across multiple mints simultaneously. RIC VII 222 is among the more localized varieties of this type, tied specifically to Arelate's workshop output in the early 320s.
