Constantius II, the second son of Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor from 337 to 361 A.D. His long reign was marked by efforts to preserve imperial unity following his father's death and the subsequent division of power among the imperial brothers. After the civil conflicts of the 340s and the deaths of his brothers Constantine II and Constans, Constantius II became the sole ruler of the Roman world in 353 A.D., restoring centralized control over the empire.
The coinage of Constantius II reflects the political, military, and religious themes of his era, commonly representing imperial authority, military strength, and messages of unity throughout the empire.
