Constantine II “The Young” - Reigned over The Roman Empire (Gaul, Spain, and Britain) - AD 337–340. Period: The Constantinian Dynasty.
Flavius Claudius Constantinus Augustus was born in Arles, France, and died in Aquileia, Italy, in 340. He inherited a part of the empire that his father, Constantine I, shared with his two sons, Constantius II and Constans. Thus, he obtained Gaul, Hispania, and Britain. Constantius II received Asia Minor, and Constans was granted Italy, Africa, and Pannonia (Central Europe).
This resulted in a dispute among the siblings. Constantine II, feeling aggrieved, marched on Rome in 340 and was killed in an ambush outside Aquileia, Italy.
The Inscription Note Reads - THE ROMAN EMPIRE CONTINUED TO MINT COINS EVEN AS ITS CIVILIZATION MOVED TOWARD RUIN (27 B.C. TO 378 A.D.). THEY MADE LEADERS OF THE HEROES OF THE BATTLEFIELD AND HEROES OF THEIR LEADERS BY STAMPING THEIR LIKENESS ON EACH COIN. EACH IS AUTHENTIC AND HAND-STRUCK, CAUSING IT TO HAVE ITS UNIQUE SHAPE. copyright UPM, 1993.
