from Arles in RIC is #378, which is a GLORIA
EXERCITVS with two standards with wreath between
and dot in the wreath. This coin does not have
the dot in the wreath, which is like the
previous issue. The plain wreath was issued in
A.D. 333 and Constans was appointed Caesar on 25
Dec 333, so perhaps a few of these were struck
for him, or perhaps it is only an engravers
error, the wreath is small, so maybe no room. |

P; Securitas standing facing, legs crossed,
head turned right, holding sceptre in right
hand, left elbow leaning on column. Exergue is uncertain Rome mint After the death of
Constantine on 22 May 337, there was an
interregnum of some three months before his
three sons were proclaimed Augusti on 9 Sept
337. It was during these three months that “The
Great Massacre” occurred, when most of the other
male members of Constantine’s family and their
supporters were killed. During this period all
the mints continued producing the GLORIA
EXERCITVS coins except Rome, which was
controlled by Constans. In Rome a new type was
issued—SECVRITAS REI PVB. Constans apparently
wanted the citizens to believe that the security
of the Empire had been protected by the
massacre. |
