Additional information

Dalmatius was elevated to Caesar in 335 AD by his uncle Constantine I — a controversial dynastic move that bypassed Constantine's own sons in favor of a nephew. His tenure lasted barely two years. Upon Constantine's death in May 337, all three of Constantine's sons orchestrated or permitted a palace massacre that eliminated Dalmatius and most of the collateral male relatives, consolidating power among themselves. Coins struck in his name were almost certainly pulled from circulation rapidly afterward, which partly accounts for the difficulty in assembling a complete type set for this Caesar.

The single-standard GLORIA EXERCITVS type at Treveri replaced the earlier two-standard version around 335, a small but catalogued design shift that helps narrow die attribution within the reign.
