| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantius Gallus was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II in 351, partly to manage the eastern provinces while the emperor dealt with the usurper Magnentius in the west. The appointment was uneasy from the start — Gallus proved erratic and brutal in his administration of Antioch, executing officials and provoking riots, until Constantius finally summoned and executed him in 354. This issue therefore spans a Caesar whose entire tenure lasted barely three years before his violent removal.
The Siscia mint was among the most productive western Danubian facilities of the mid-fourth century, retooled aggressively during the Magnentian crisis.
