Nummus - Constantine II DOMINORVM NOSTRORVM CAESS, Ticinum

Constantine II was elevated to the rank of Caesar in 317 AD as part of his father's careful dynastic architecture following the renewed civil war with Licinius. The DOMINORVM NOSTRORVM CAESS legend — "of our lords the Caesars," in the plural — reflects the brief window when both Constantine II and Crispus held the junior rank simultaneously, which tightly brackets the issue to these specific years at Ticinum.

Ticinum (modern Pavia) was a strategically vital mint, positioned in the Po Valley close to the Alpine passes. RIC VII 152 from this mint is relatively well documented but not common in sharp detail, as the bronze fabric of the period was inconsistent.
