Obverses were right facing busts of either Constantius II or Constans but the type was discontinued before the first issues of the other rulers discussed above. dougsmith.ancients.info /ftr.html   (2616 words)

Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. - Numismatic Articles Upon the death of Constans (337-350 AD), at the hands of Magnentius, the troops at Illyria were undecided as to whether to continue their allegiance to the house of Constantine in the person of Constantius II or to declare for the usurper Magnentius. As Constantius II was in the east fighting the Persians it seemed the decision was to go against the absent emperor if not for the intervention of the emperors sister Constantina.

Constans II Constans II Constans II Not to be confused with the better known "Constans II" of the Byzantine period, Constans was the son of usurper Constantine III who rebelled against Honorius from his base in Britain. Constantine III racked up several early military successes and added Gaul and Spain to his domains. When the time was right Honorius sent his ablest general, Constantius III, to deal the final blow to both and thereby recoup all lost territories with the exception of Britain which he decided to abandon for lack of resources. www.dirtyoldcoins.com /natto/id/cn2.htm   (222 words)

Constantine III Next Constantine III demanded that Honorius recognize him as Augustus, which the latter saw himself forced to do, in view of his desperately weakened position with the usurper in the west and Alaric in Italy.

The Oxford Classical Dictionary and Michael Grant on Magnentius the Gallic usurper Magnentius had raised large forces in Gaul, including numerous Germans, and in consequence outnumbered Constantius II, who as he advanced westwards was defeated with heavy losses at Atrans, on the border of Italy and Noricum, and compelled to retreat. Magnentius, Flavius Magnus, from a family of barbarian settlers in Gaul, rose to a senior military command under the emperor Constans. In January AD 350 at Autun (Augustodunum) he led a coup which overthrew Constans, and rapidly won over the western provinces; although nominally a Christian, he made religious concessions to the pagan senatorial aristocracy. www.ancientsites.com /aw/Post/206254   (1795 words)
