Description: This ancient Roman coin features a portrait of Emperor Constantine II Junior, the son of Constantine, who ruled during the Imperial era of Rome. The coin was minted in 336 AD, during the reign of Constantine II and features the Roman Camp Gates reverse. The eldest son of Constantine the Great and Fausta, Constantine II was born in Arles in February 316 and raised as a Christian. On 1 March 317, he was made caesar. In 323, at the age of seven, he took part in his father's campaign against the Sarmatians. At age ten, he became commander of Gaul, following the death of his half-brother Crispus. His military career continued when Constantine I made him field commander during the 332 winter campaign against the Goths. The military operation was successful and decisive, with 100,000 Goths reportedly slain and the surrender of the ruler Ariaric. Following the death of his father in 337, Constantine II initially became emperor jointly with his brothers Constantius II and Constans, with the empire divided between them and their cousins, the caesars Dalmatius and Hannibalianus. This arrangement barely survived Constantine I's death, as his sons arranged the slaughter of most of the rest of the family by the army. As a result, the three brothers gathered together in Pannonia and there, on 9 September 337, divided the Roman world among themselves. Constantine, proclaimed Augustus by the troops received Gaul, Britannia and Hispania. This coins design and details make it a great addition to any collection. 1464
