| 背面描述 | Three standing figures in the field: at center, a tall trophy composed of a helmet, cuirass, and military standards mounted on a pole resting on a beaded base; to the left, Victoria (Victory) facing right, winged and draped, holding a palm frond over her left shoulder and presenting a wreath toward the trophy; to the right, Libertas facing left, draped, holding a sceptre in her right hand and resting her left hand on the trophy. The composition alludes to Magnentius's claim to have liberated Rome. The mint mark TR appears in the exergue, identifying the Treveri (Augusta Treverorum) mint. The reverse legend VICTORIA•AVG•LIB•ROMANOR is inscribed around the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

Magnentius seized power in January 350 by murdering Constans at a banquet in Helena (modern Elne), making him the first Western usurper in decades to hold the throne long enough to build a coherent coinage. The Trier mint — one of the great production centers of the late empire — struck solidi for him throughout his three-year reign, and this issue was almost certainly produced under pressure of active military expenditure. His war against Constantius II culminated at Mursa Major in 351, one of the bloodiest battles of the fourth century, after which Magnentius never recovered militarily.
He died by suicide in August 353 at Lugdunum. Coins bearing his name were systematically demonetized after Constantius reasserted control.
