| Additional information |
Dalmatius — full name Flavius Dalmatius — was a nephew of Constantine the Great, elevated to Caesar in 335 as part of Constantine's attempt to distribute imperial authority across his extended family. The arrangement lasted barely a year beyond Constantine's death in 337: Dalmatius was killed in the military purge that followed, almost certainly orchestrated by Constantius II, which makes coins struck in his name during this narrow window genuinely short-lived issues by design.
The Thessalonica mint was active and well-organized during this period, but the reign — if it can be called that — ended before the coinage had any meaningful circulation life.
