| Additional information |
The GLORIA ROMANORVM bronze nummus series was produced across multiple eastern mints during the co-reign years when Constantius II was consolidating control after the usurpation and defeat of Magnentius. Nicomedia, as one of the principal imperial mints of the eastern administration, played a central role in this output. The sheer volume struck across 351–355 reflects a deliberate policy of monetary normalization following years of civil disruption.
The RIC X attribution places this piece under Arcadius, not Theodosius II — a discrepancy worth noting if the catalog name is taken at face value.
