An authentic, sharply detailed piece of late imperial Roman history: a genuine bronze Nummus struck under Emperor Constantius II as Augustus. As the second son of Constantine the Great, Constantius II inherited the eastern portion of the vast Roman world. His reign was defined by intense military defense of the frontiers, major religious shifts, and the consolidation of the Christianized Roman Empire.

Struck at the imperial mint in Cyzicus, this specimen features the iconic GLORIA EXERCITVS (Glory of the Army) reverse design. This type served as vital military propaganda, celebrating the unyielding strength and unity of the Roman legions. Directly beneath the soldiers' feet is the crisp, clear mint mark SMKA, denoting Sacra Moneta Kyzici (Sacred Mint of Cyzicus), Workshop A. Housed in a choice state of preservation, this coin offers spectacular, razor-sharp detail from the legendary Constantinian dynasty.
