Note: Constantius II was a Roman emperor who reigned from AD 337 to 361. He was one of the sons of Constantine the Great and ruled primarily over the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire. His reign was marked by religious conflict and significant military campaigns against both internal usurpers and external threats. The obverse features a laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right. The laurel wreath signifies victory and honor, while the drapery and cuirass emphasize his roles as both a civilian leader and military commander. The reverse depicts two helmeted soldiers standing facing each other, each holding a spear and shield. Between them is one standard. The standard symbolizes the unity and discipline of the Roman legions.
