Camp Gate Reverse of Constantius II

The legend on the reverse of this coin reads PROVIDENTIAE CAESS, acknowledging that the royal family had provided the Roman people and empire with a caesar and the prospects of a smooth succession. The happy event of a royal child was often commemorated on coins by the Romans with legends including FELICITAS AVG (Joy) FECVNDITAS AVG (Fertility) and the legend on this coin.

The camp gate device alluded to the strength of the Roman army and the protection it afforded the Roman people against attack by foreign invaders.

This type of AE4 with camp gate reverse was struck during the reigns of Constantine I and his sons Crispus, Constantine II, Constans, and Constantius II.
