Additional information

Constantine II held the title Caesar under his father Constantine I, never ruling as Augustus in his own right until after the elder Constantine's death in May 337. This solidus belongs to the final months of the old reign — a period of calculated succession-grooming in which the three surviving sons were each assigned regions and styled as joint heirs. The Rome mint, by this point largely ceremonial in output compared to the eastern workshops at Nicomedia and Antioch, struck these issues partly as prestige pieces affirming dynastic continuity rather than to meet any urgent monetary demand.

RIC VII 374 is rated R4 — fewer than five specimens recorded at time of publication.
