| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two helmeted soldiers standing facing one another, each holding a grounded spear in the outer hand and resting the inner hand on a shield; a single military standard is placed between them, its banner bearing the letter G. The reverse legend GLORIA EXERCITVS runs along the upper and lower fields. The exergue contains the mint mark of the Arelate officina. The composition reflects the standard late Constantinian military type with one standard, distinguishing it from the earlier two-standard variant. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The single-standard variant of GLORIA EXERCITVS replaced the earlier two-standard type around 337, the transition coinciding almost exactly with Constantine the Great's death and the empire's subsequent division among his three surviving sons. Constantius II held the eastern provinces; Arelate — modern Arles — fell under the control of Constantine II, then Constans after fratricide resolved that dispute in 340.
The Arelate mint was among the more prolific western producers of this reduced follis type. RIC VIII 56 is a common issue, but the political turbulence compressed into its production window is anything but.
