Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Constantinus II (also known as Constantine II) on one side, and a depiction of the glory of the Roman army (GLORIA EXERCITVS) on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and military change in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the importance of the military in maintaining the empire's power and influence.
