Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Constantius II Centenionalis coin is that it features the first recorded use of the phrase "Fel Temp Reparatio" (Happy Time Restoration) on a Roman coin, which suggests that the emperor was attempting to promote a sense of renewal and optimism during a time of political and military turmoil.
