One interesting fact about the Nummus - Constantine II (CONSTANTINOPOLIS; Rome) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Constantine II, who ruled from 337 to 340 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and religious change in the Roman Empire, as Constantine II was the first Christian Roman Emperor and oversaw the transition of the empire's capital from Rome to Constantinople. Despite being made of bronze and weighing only 1.4 grams, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic, political, and religious practices of ancient Rome.
