Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantinus II coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Constantine II, who ruled the Roman Empire from 323 to 324 AD. This coin features an image of the emperor with a radiate crown, symbolizing his divine status, and a draped and cuirassed portrait, representing his military prowess. The reverse side of the coin bears the inscription "BEATA TRANQLITAS," which translates to "blessed tranquility," suggesting a period of peace and stability during Constantine's reign. Additionally, the coin was minted in Londinium (modern-day London), which was an important center of trade and commerce in the Roman Empire.
