Constantius II was the third son of Constantine I. In the partition of the empire he was given the east to govern, which attests to his father' s high regard for his abilities. Much of his reign was spent repelling Persian aggression in northern Mesopotamia. Insecurity in the west led him to nominate his cousin Julian as Caesar in Gaul; an act he must have repented. Constantius died on the way to confront Julian who had been declared Augustus by his troops. This coin shows the youthful profile of the emperor wearing a diadem. On the reverse shows a soldier advancing right dragging a young barbarian from but beneath a tree. This indicates the coin was struck between A.D.346 - 354. To wear this beautiful pendant shows the wearer has not only excellent taste, but also the bold independence to be different.
