Ancient Rome 336-337AD S17088 Constantine II Silver Siliqua Extra Fine (EF-40)
Constantine II (316–340 CE) was the eldest son of Constantine the Great and co-emperor of the Roman Empire from 337 CE, following his father’s death. He ruled over the western provinces, including Britain, Gaul, and Spain, as part of the division of the empire among Constantine’s sons. Constantine II is remembered for his conflict with his brother Constans, who controlled Italy and Africa; tensions over territory led to a brief civil war. In 340 CE, while attempting to invade his brother’s territory, Constantine II was killed in battle, ending his short and turbulent reign. His death reinforced the power of Constans in the west and highlighted the instability that could arise from divided imperial authority.
Obverse: Laureate head of Constantine II facing right, with eyes raised upward to God.
Reverse: Victory standing facing out with head to the left, a wreath raised upward in her right hand, with a palm cradled on her left arm, and the mint mark below.
