Interesting fact
The Follis coin featuring Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Phoenix on the globe; Treveri) was part of a large-scale currency reform implemented by the Roman Empire during the 4th century AD. The reform aimed to address the inflation and economic instability of the time by introducing a new standardized system of coinage. The Follis coin, which was made of bronze and weighed 2.42g, was one of the denominations introduced during this reform, and it remained in circulation until the fall of the Roman Empire in 395 AD.
