The bronze nummus (with “bi-nummus” indicating a double-denomination coin) was a common bronze currency circulated in the Roman Empire during Constantine II’s reign, representing the continuation of his father Constantine the Great’s monetary reforms that had established bronze coinage as the backbone of everyday transactions. Now, Roman Empire Constantine II Bi Nummus Coins are available online at JM Bullion in Mint State condition.
Coin Highlights:
Roman Empire Constantine II Bi Nummus Coins listed here are certified Mint State ancient coins. These coins have well-struck designs and unique bronze visual elements. The coins have a distinctive combination of earthy patinas that include olive, deep bronze, and brown hues with subtle golden highlights.
In the obverse of Constantine II Bi Nummus Coins, you’ll find a right-profile portrait of the emperor. Constantine II was the eldest son of Constantine the Great and ruled as co-emperor from 337 CE following his father’s death, initially governing the western provinces, including Gaul, Britain, and Hispania as part of a complex power-sharing arrangement with his brothers Constantius II and Constans.
For the reverse of the Roman Empire Constantine II Bi Nummus Coin, the field features a complete wreath with Latin inscriptions. The nummus coins from Constantine II’s brief reign are particularly interesting to numismatists because they document his evolving titles and status, from Caesar under his father to Augustus as co-emperor.
Ambitious and dissatisfied with his portion of the empire, Constantine II grew increasingly resentful of the division and particularly resented his younger brother Constans’ authority, leading him to invade Italy in 340 CE in an attempt to expand his territory. This invasion proved fatal, as Constantine II was killed in an ambush near Aquileia at just twenty-five years old. Having ruled independently for only three years, his territories were subsequently absorbed by Constans.
