Constantius II, Roman Emperor, Gold Solidus

The reverse of a gold Solidus struck in Antioch, Syria, in the name of the Roman Emperor, Constantius II.

 

This reverse displays the personifications of the two capital cities of the fourth and fifth century Roman Empire, Constantinople on our right and Rome on our left. They together hold a shield announcing the vows for the loyalty to the Emperor and the empire. The letters below identify the mint of Antioch while the legend around declares the Glory of the Roman Republic.
