| Reverse description | Two helmeted soldiers standing facing one another in full military attire, each holding a reversed spear in the outer hand and resting the inner hand upon a grounded shield; between them stands a single legionary standard. The composition is a standard Constantinian military type rendered in low relief with typical late antique stylization. The reverse legend GLORIA EXERCITVS appears in the field surrounding the figures, proclaiming the glory of the army. The mint mark appears in the exergue, identifying the Nicomedia mint and specific officina. The overall design reflects the propagandistic military imagery prevalent under Constantine and his successors. |
