Offered here is a rare and visually striking Roman piece from the Constantine Dynasty—It is struck with a sharply defined Chi-Rho Christogram standard, a key symbol of Constantine’s Christian empire.

The central device remains clear which is rarely seen, enhancing both historical and collector appeal. This beautiful Roman coin is clean, balanced, and far above average for the issue, without any issues of previously being cleaned.


⚔️ Roman Empire – Constans (AD 337–350)


GLORIA EXERCITVS – “The Glory of the Army”


A highly collectible late Roman bronze featuring one of the most iconic military designs of the ancient world—two soldiers flanking a central standard, symbolizing the strength and unity of the Roman army.


🔍 What Makes This Example Stand Out-


• Exceptional central standard detail, rarely preserved on this type

• Sharp soldier figures with clear stance and weapons

• Well-defined portrait with visible diadem detail

• Balanced strike with strong overall eye appeal


A clean, display-worthy early strike with stronger detail than typically encountered on later examples of this issue.

Most examples of this type are significantly weaker—this piece stands out immediately for its clarity, detail, and overall eye appeal.


🧑‍🎨 OBVERSE:

Diademed, draped bust of Constans facing right

Legend: “CONSTANS P F AVG”


A strong and expressive portrait with clear hair detail and facial definition.


🛡️REVERSE:

“GLORIA EXERCITVS” (“Glory of the Army”)

Two Roman soldiers standing with spears and shields, flanking a military standard


The central standard remains clearly defined, a key detail that significantly enhances desirability.
