| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantine II as Caesar facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed paludamentum and lorica. The laureate wreath is tied with a ribbon visible behind the neck, and the hair is rendered in short layered locks beneath. The portrait conveys youthful features befitting the Caesar's junior rank. The circumscribed Latin legend runs clockwise around the dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Nicomedia in the immediate aftermath of Constantine I's defeat of Licinius at the Battle of Chrysopolis in September 324, this solidus belongs to a brief celebratory series elevating Constantine II within the dynastic hierarchy. The PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS title was a deliberate archaism, borrowed from early imperial practice to signal legitimacy through Roman tradition at a moment when Constantine was consolidating sole rule over a reunified empire. Nicomedia had been Licinius's capital; striking dynastic gold there so quickly was a pointed act of political absorption.
