| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constans as Caesar facing right, rendered in fine high relief with carefully articulated hair beneath the laurel wreath, a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder, and scale-decorated cuirass visible at the truncation. The youthful, idealized effigy displays the characteristic Constantinian dynastic portrait style. The encircling Latin legend reads FL CONSTANS NOB CAES, distributed across the upper and lower fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constans received the title Caesar in 333 AD when he was still a child, likely no older than ten. The Constantinople mint began striking in his name shortly after, a political signal that Constantine was actively organizing the succession that would, upon his death in 337, partition the empire among his three surviving sons. Constans ultimately took Italy, Africa, and Illyricum.
He was murdered in 350 by the usurper Magnentius — the first Roman emperor killed by a western usurper in over a century.
