Beschrijving keerzijde A Roman soldier, helmeted, draped, and cuirassed, advances to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen horseman, while bearing a large round shield on his left arm; a second shield lies on the ground to the right. The fallen horseman, wearing a pointed Phrygian cap, turns his face toward the soldier and extends his left arm in a gesture of supplication or defence. The composition, a canonical FEL TEMP REPARATIO type, conveys Roman military triumph over barbarian enemies. The officina letter and mintmark SIRM appear in the exergue, separated by a dot.

Aanvullende informatie

Constantius Gallus was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II in 351, partly out of dynastic necessity — most of the male Constantinian line had been massacred in the succession crisis of 337, leaving few reliable relatives to govern the East. Sirmium, as a major Danubian imperial residence and mint city, was politically central to that arrangement. Gallus proved a brutal and erratic administrator in Antioch, and Constantius had him arrested and executed in 354, cutting short both his rule and, effectively, this issue's production window.
