Additional information

By 335–336, the GLORIA EXERCITVS type had been struck across virtually every active mint in the empire for the better part of a decade, functioning less as a coin than as a tool of dynastic messaging during Constantine I's final reorganization of imperial succession. Siscia was one of the busiest mints of the period, operating multiple officinae simultaneously to meet the enormous volume demands these small bronzes required. The two-soldier, two-standard variant — issued before the standard count dropped to one in subsequent years — marks this piece as belonging to the earlier phase of the type's long production run.
