Nummus - Constantius II FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Treveri

The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are returning") series was launched in 348 AD as part of a massive empire-wide issue celebrating the 1100th anniversary of Rome's founding. Trier was among the most prolific western mints involved, operating under Constantius II while his brother Constans held the western provinces — a division that would end violently when the usurper Magnentius killed Constans in January 350, abruptly terminating production of this type at Trier.

RIC VIII #217 is among the smaller module pieces from this series, a size reduction reflecting chronic bronze shortages in the late Constantinian period.
