Additional information

The shift from two standards to one in the GLORIA EXERCITVS type occurred around 335 AD and is directly tied to the consolidation of imperial imagery following the execution of Crispus in 326 and the broader restructuring of the Constantinian dynasty in its final years. The single-standard variant effectively replaced the two-standard type across most mints simultaneously, making it one of the more coordinated imperial retooling efforts of the period.

Antioch's output for this type is well-documented across multiple officinae, each identifiable by workshop marks in the exergue.
