Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Constantius II (GLORIA EXERCITVS; Treveri) coin is that it features a rare and unique design element. The obverse side of the coin depicts the emperor Constantius II with a distinctive "amiable" expression, which is not commonly found on Roman coins of that era. This subtle detail suggests that the coin may have been minted during a period of relative peace and prosperity, and that the emperor was seeking to promote a more benevolent image of himself to his subjects.
