Note: Constantine II, also known as Flavius Claudius Constantinus, was a Roman emperor who served as Caesar from AD 316 to 337. He was the eldest son of Constantine the Great and was appointed Caesar to help govern the vast Roman Empire alongside his father and brothers.  The obverse features a diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantine II facing right. The diadem signifies his imperial authority and divine favor. The drapery and cuirass (armor) highlight his role as a leader and military commander, underscoring his noble birth and martial responsibilities. The reverse depicts two soldiers standing facing one another. Each soldier holds a spear and shield, with two military standards (signa) positioned between them. The standards represent the military units and their pride, while the soldiers symbolize the strength and unity of the Roman army.
