| Additional information |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are here again") coinage was launched in 348 AD as part of a massive empire-wide propaganda campaign marking the 1100th anniversary of Rome's founding. Siscia — modern Sisak in Croatia — was one of the most prolific western mints for this issue, operating multiple officinae simultaneously to meet the enormous volume required for what amounted to a coordinated political statement across every province.
RIC VIII 200 belongs to the falling horseman type, one of several distinct reverses used within the series. Production at Siscia was abruptly curtailed when Magnentius seized the mint in 350 AD following his usurpation.
