| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Arelatum (modern Arles) during the uneasy co-regency that followed the defeat of Licinius in 324, this votive issue commemorates the decennial vows — the vota — pledged on behalf of Constantine II as Caesar. The VOT X formula was aspirational, not retrospective; it expressed the prayer that the young Caesar would reach ten years of rule, a standard piece of imperial political theatre pressed into bronze at regional mints across the west.
RIC VII 256 places this firmly within Arelatum's output under the reorganized mint structure Constantine imposed after consolidating sole rule. The Arles mint had been established by Constantine himself around 313, making it one of the newer western officinae.
