| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantius Gallus was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II in 351 AD, elevated largely because the dynasty was running out of surviving male relatives after the purges of 337. His tenure was short and brutal — he ruled the East with a paranoid cruelty that eventually prompted Constantius II to summon and execute him in 354. The Siscia mint, one of the most productive of the later empire, issued this type early in Gallus's caesarship, placing his portrait within the CONCORDIA MILITVM program common to new appointments as a deliberate statement of loyalty to the senior emperor.
