Solidus - Constans CONSTANS CAESAR, Constantinople

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.
