DEV-6BF9A6 Roman coin of Constantine II
Descrición
English: Roman copper alloy coin. The coin is a nummus of Constantine II as Caesar (AD 317-337).

The coin was found by a primary school pupil from Devon. Information for schools:

The coin was made between the years 330 and 335 AD. This makes the coin nearly one thousand and seven hundred years old.

The obverse (or the 'heads') of the coin show Constantine 'the second' wearing armour on his shoulders. The emperor is wearing a laurel wreath on his head.

The words on the coin are in Latin, which was the language spoken by the Romans. The words translate into English as 'Constantine Junior, most noble Caesar'.

The reverse (or the 'tails') of the coin shows two Roman soldiers with two military standards. Military standards were tall poles with different symbols on. Different units of the Roman army had their own standard. In battle, one of the soldiers would carry the standard in front so that the other soldiers could follow him. The Latin words on the reverse of the coin translate into English as 'The Glorious Army'.

At the bottom of the coin are some letters. These letters are important because they show where the coin was made. The letters or 'mintmark' show us that this coin was made in a place called Nicomedia. Nicomedia is the ancient name for a city now called Izmit, in Western Turkey.
