| Additional information |
The GLORIA EXERCITVS type was introduced across all major mints following Constantine's reorganization of the field army in the late 320s, a deliberate propaganda effort to consolidate loyalty among troops increasingly drawn from Germanic foederati rather than traditional Roman stock. The Rome mint's output for this type is well-documented in RIC VII, with #328 representing one of several officina emissions distinguished by mintmark alone.
Constantine II was elevated to Caesar at age seven and never ruled the western empire as sole Augustus — he was killed in an ambush near Aquileia in 340, just three years after his father's death, while attempting to seize territory from his brother Constans.
