| Additional information |
The VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN type belongs to a brief, coordinated reform emission struck across multiple western mints in 347–348, timed to mark the twentieth anniversary of Constantius II's rule as Caesar and the tenth as Augustus — a double vota celebration that the court propagandists folded into a single commemorative issue. Arelate (modern Arles) was by then one of the most productive mints in the western empire, having been elevated under Constantine I after the destruction of the Lugdunum operation.
RIC VIII 78 is among the smaller module types from this mint, struck at a weight that reflects the ongoing debasement of the bronze coinage following the Constantinian reforms of 330.
