Nummus - Constantinus I GLORIA EXERCITVS, Treveri

The GLORIA EXERCITVS type was introduced following Constantine's reorganization of the field army after the defeat of Licinius in 324, functioning as part of a sustained propaganda effort to bind the loyalty of the legions during a period of dynastic consolidation. The two-soldier, two-standards variant — as cataloged here under RIC VII 555 — was struck at Treveri during the transitional window before the type shifted to a single standard, a change that occurred around 335 across most western mints.

Treveri had been a primary imperial residence since Diocletian's tetrarchic reorganization, and its mint remained among the most productive in the west through Constantine's reign.
