| Additional information |
Struck at Trier in the final years before Constantine the Great's death in 337, this solidus belongs to a series issued for Constantine II while he held the title *Princeps Iuventutis* — a deliberately archaic honorific revived from the early Principate to signal dynastic succession. Constantine the Great distributed his empire among his three surviving sons and two nephews in 335, a settlement that collapsed almost immediately upon his death when the nephews were massacred in a military purge widely attributed to the sons themselves.
Trier was the dominant western mint of the period, and RIC VII 573 is among the better-documented issues of this short transitional window.
