Constantius II as Caesar | Solidus - Thessalonica AD 324
The propagandist note of this reverse, alluding to the military training of Constantius and the victories he would surely go on to win for the Empire, is one that is seen time and again across the coinage of the Constantinian period. However, it was struck during a period of change: in celebration for his victory in the second Civil War in 324, Constantine conferred the title of Augusta on both his mother Helena and wife Fausta, while marking the Caesarship of Constantius in the obverse legend of this issue.
