| Additional information |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are here again") series was launched in 348 AD as part of a massive imperial propaganda campaign marking the 1100th anniversary of Rome's founding. Constans and Constantius II flooded the western and eastern mints respectively with this coinage, producing it in extraordinary quantities across nearly every active mint — Siscia included, which operated multiple officinae simultaneously to meet output demands.
Constans was assassinated by the usurper Magnentius in January 350, cutting this issue's production window short. Siscia itself would fall to Magnentius shortly after, making late officina attributions from this mint particularly useful for narrowing the final months of legitimate Constantinian production there.
