Note: Constantius II was a Roman Caesar who served from AD 324 to AD 337 under the rule of his father, Emperor Constantine the Great. His jurisdiction included the Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, and he played a significant role in the governance and defense of these regions during his tenure as Caesar. This period was characterized by the consolidation of the Empire under Constantine’s rule and efforts to stabilize the Eastern frontiers. The obverse features a diademed head of Constantius II facing right. The diadem, a symbol of royalty and authority, signifies his legitimate claim to power and his role as a ruler under divine favor. The reverse shows a wreath, a classical symbol of victory and honor. The wreath encloses the inscription, emphasizing the commemoration of vows and the celebration of Constantius II’s reign.
