Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Cyzicus) coin was part of a large-scale currency reform implemented by Emperor Constantius II in the mid-4th century AD. This reform aimed to address the inflation and currency devaluation that had plagued the Roman Empire for decades, and it introduced a new standardized system of coinage that was based on the bronze nummus, which was divided into 40 smaller units called "mites." The Nummus - Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Cyzicus) coin was one of the denominations in this new system, and it was used throughout the Roman Empire for over a century.
