Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantinus II (GLORIA EXERCITVS; Cyzicus) coin was part of a series of coins issued by Emperor Constantine II to commemorate his military victories. The coin features the emperor's name and title on one side, and an image of the goddess Victory on the other. The coin was minted in Cyzicus, a city in modern-day Turkey, and was circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economy, politics, and culture of the Roman Empire during the 4th century.
