| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted Roman soldier advancing to the right, his head turned back to the left, holding a spear pointed downward between his legs in his left hand. With his outstretched right hand he leads a small bare-headed barbarian figure emerging from a hut or thatched structure situated beneath a stylized tree, symbolizing the reclamation of Roman frontier territories. The mintmark and officina letter appear in the exergue. The reverse legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO runs around the upper periphery, encapsulating the Constantinian propaganda theme of a return to prosperous times. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("Happy Times Are Here Again") coinage was launched in 348 AD to celebrate the 1,100th anniversary of Rome's founding — an empire-wide propaganda exercise that flooded mints from London to Alexandria with bronze at a scale not seen for decades. Constans was the junior Augustus ruling the western provinces at the time, though his reign would end abruptly in January 350 when the usurper Magnentius staged a coup at a dinner party in Autun, having Constans hunted down and killed near the Pyrenees.
The Rome mint's output for this type, catalogued as RIC VIII 140, is notably scarcer than parallel issues from Siscia or Thessalonica, which bore the heaviest production burden for the series.
