RIC VII 225 dates to the period immediately following Constantine's defeat of Licinius at the Battle of Chrysopolis in September 324, which left Constantine sole ruler of a reunified empire for the first time in decades. The PROVIDENTIAE AVGG reverse type — invoking divine providence on behalf of "the Augusti" — was struck across multiple western mints during this transitional window, before the plural title became politically awkward with no co-emperor left to share it. Lugdunum's output for this type is relatively modest against Trier and Arles.
