     Constantius II. 337-361 AD. AV Solidus (4.21 gm). Antioch mint.
     Diademed head right / Roma and Constantinople holding shield. RIC
     VIII 172 (R2). Near VF, wavy planchet, polished, mount removed.
     711876.

     Constantius II, the middle of Constantine I the Great's three
     sons by Fausta, managed to outlast his two brothers and rule all
     or part of the Empire for 24 years. His personal qualities were
     not terribly attractive--he was vain, suspicious, something of a
     plodder. He was an indifferent general, managing only a stalemate
     against the aggressive Persians and suffering horrendous losses
     during his ultimately successful struggle against the usurper
     Magentius. But he was hard-working and dutiful, taking his job as
     Emperor very seriously. He made the system he inherited from his
     father work, and the Roman Empire reached an equilibrium during
     his reign that neither civil wars nor the disastrous foreign
     adventures of his successor Julian could seriously disrupt.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,

                subject to our qualification of the bidder.
