Nummus - Constantinus II VRBS ROMA, GLORIA EXERCITVS, Constantinopolis

Constantinus II's brief reign ended in 340 when he invaded his brother Constans's territory in northern Italy and was ambushed and killed near Aquileia — making any coin attributable specifically to his sole reign a narrow three-year window. The VRBS ROMA and Constantinopolis types were originally introduced under Constantine I as commemorative issues honoring the two imperial capitals, and were simply carried over by the mints serving his successors. Constantinople's mint continued striking these small bronzes well into the 340s under Constans and Constantius II, which makes tight attribution to Constantinus II's issues dependent on careful die study rather than type alone.
