Title: Constantius II VICTORIA CAESARIS from Siscia
Post by: Victor on March 16, 2014, 11:14:30 PM
This coin is a bit rough, but is a fairly rare type and has a bit of a story as it was issued for Constantius II and Constantius Gallus before the campaign against Magnentius, but the reverse was premature as Constantius II suffered setbacks and even lost Siscia for about a month before his actual victory over Magnentius.
