Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Constantinopolis) coin was part of a large-scale currency reform implemented by Constantius II in 351 AD, which aimed to address the inflation and economic instability of the Roman Empire. The coin was made of bronze and had a standardized design, featuring the emperor's image on one side and a symbol or legend on the other. The coin's design and materials were meant to promote stability and consistency in the Roman currency system, and it was widely used throughout the empire for everyday transactions.
