The Follis coinage was introduced by Emperor Constans in 347 AD, and it was the first time that a Roman Emperor's image was featured on the coinage. This was a departure from the traditional Roman practice of featuring gods and goddesses on coins. The Follis coinage was also notable for its use of a new bronze alloy that was more durable than previous coinage materials.
