Constantine II received the title Caesar in 317 at roughly eighteen months old, making the votive inscriptions on this type — pledging ten years of loyalty — a political formality performed on behalf of an infant by his father's court. The VOT X series from Aquileia in 322 falls within a period of intense dynastic image-making, as Constantine I worked to cement his sons as legitimate heirs following the defeat of Licinius's own dynastic ambitions at the Battle of Cibalae in 316.
RIC VII 113 is documented with the AQVIL mintmark; Aquileia was one of the most productive western mints of this period.
