Nummus - Constantius I ROMAE AETERNAE, Roma

Struck at Rome in the years immediately following Constantine's defeat of Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, this issue belongs to a period when the Rome mint was being systematically marginalized. Constantine shifted favor toward his new eastern mints, and Rome's output during 318–319 reflects that political demotion — competent work, but no longer the center of imperial production it had been for centuries.

RIC VII 146 is reasonably well documented but not among the common types of the reign. The Rome mint's nummus production in this window is traceable through distinct officina marks.
