| Beschrijving keerzijde | The youthful figure of Constans as Prince of Youth (Princeps Iuventutis) stands facing right, depicted draped, cuirassed, and wearing a billowing paludamentum. He holds a transverse spear in his right hand and a globe in his left, emblems of imperial authority and world dominion. The encircling legend PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS proclaims his status as Caesar and heir apparent. The mintmark, identifying the Siscia mint officina, appears in the exergue below the standing figure. The composition reflects the traditional iconography employed for junior members of the Constantinian dynasty during the 330s. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Siscia in 335 AD, this solidus belongs to the period when Constantine the Great elevated his youngest son Constans to the rank of Caesar — a promotion formalized in late 333 AD as part of the dynastic restructuring that would, within two years of Constantine's death, collapse into fratricidal civil war. The PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS title, "Prince of Youth," was a traditional honorific borrowed from early imperial usage, deployed here to legitimize a boy who was likely no older than thirteen at the time of striking.
Siscia was one of the most productive mints of the Constantinian period, situated strategically on the Sava River in Pannonia.
