Reverse: Wreath of Success; inscription DOMINOR NOSTROR CAESS (Our Lord Ceasar)
Constantine II (Latin: Flavius Claudius Constantinus; 316–340) was Roman emperor from 337 to 340. The son of the emperor Constantine I, he was proclaimed Caesar by his father shortly after his birth. He was associated with military victories over the Sarmatians, Alamanni and Goths during his career, for which he was granted a number of victory titles, holding the consulship four times – in 320, 321, 324, and 329 A.D. (Common Era).
Constantine II ascended to the throne alongside his two younger brothers, ruling Gaul, Hispania, and Britain. However, his belief in his rights of primogeniture (first born) caused conflict with his younger brother, which ended with his death in a failed invasion of Italy in 340 CE.
His father, Constantine the Great, was the first to convert to Christianity, thought to have a direct impact the formation of Rome as is today.
