| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal perspective, adorned with a pearl diadem. The imperial effigy displays the characteristic late Roman portrait style with a rigid, hieratic quality. The obverse legend encircles the bust, reading D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. The diadem is composed of a row of pearls, reflecting the evolving imperial iconography of the mid-4th century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are here again") coinage was launched empire-wide in 348 AD to mark the 1,100th anniversary of Rome's founding, a propagandistic blitz that flooded every mint from London to Alexandria with nearly identical types. Cyzicus, situated on the Propontis in modern northwest Turkey, was one of the more productive eastern mints during Constantius II's consolidation of sole rule following the defeat of the usurper Magnentius at Mursa in 351 — a battle so bloody it reportedly gutted the western army's manpower for a generation.
RIC VIII 95 places this piece within the Cyzicus sequence datable to 351–354, after Magnentius's final collapse.
