| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted and draped bust of the goddess Roma facing left, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a plume, and an imperial paludamentum fastened at the shoulder with a decorative brooch. The effigy displays finely rendered hair flowing beneath the helmet and a jewelled necklace at the throat. The legend VRBS ROMA is inscribed in the field, partially visible around the periphery. The overall style is characteristic of the Constantinian workshop at Rome, with a beaded border encircling the design. |

The VRBS ROMA issue was struck beginning in 330 AD to commemorate the formal dedication of Constantinople as the new imperial capital — a political rebranding exercise as much as a monetary one. Rome itself was by then largely ceremonial, the emperor rarely present, yet Constantine chose to honor the old city with this commemorative type struck across mints empire-wide. The Rome mint striking coins for Rome's own glorification carried a certain irony the court would not have acknowledged.
RIC VII Rome 331 places this among the earlier Rome mint emissions of the type, distinguished by its specific officina mark.
