Roman Bronze AE3 Quarter-Nummus of Constantius I Chlorus (about 1,720-1,730 years ago)

from $48.12
sale

This bronze coin is a Quarter-Nummus (AE3) issued under Constantius I Chlorus, who served as Caesar (junior emperor) and later Augustus (senior emperor) during the late Roman Empire, approximately 1,720-1,730 years ago. The coin represents the complex political system of the Tetrarchy established by Emperor Diocletian.

Coin Description:

  • Front side: Portrait of Constantius I Chlorus, likely depicted with short hair and wearing imperial regalia.

  • Back side: Probably features Roman religious symbolism, personifications, or commemorations of imperial victories with Latin inscriptions.

Technical Details:

  • Bronze alloy composition

  • Denomination: AE3 Quarter-Nummus (small denomination bronze coin)

  • Weight: Approximately 2-3 grams

  • Diameter: Approximately 18-20 mm

  • NGC Certified for authentication

  • Minted between 293-306 CE

  • Condition as specified by NGC certification

Historical Significance: This coin was minted during a pivotal reorganization of the Roman Empire under the Tetrarchy system, which divided imperial rule among four emperors—two senior Augusti and two junior Caesars. As Western Caesar and later Augustus, Constantius I governed Gaul (modern France) and Britannia (Britain), stabilizing these frontier regions after years of turmoil. He was the father of Constantine the Great, who would later reunify the empire and legalize Christianity. The coin reflects Rome's attempt to bring administrative stability through divided rule following Emperor Diocletian's reforms.

Flavius Valerius Constantius (c. 250 – 25 July 306), also called Constantius I, was a Roman emperor from 305 to 306. He was one of the four original members of the Tetrarchy established by Diocletian, first serving as caesar from 293 to 305 and then ruling as augustus until his death. Constantius was also father of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome. The nickname "Chlorus" (Ancient Greek: Χλωρός, lit. 'the Pale') was first popularized by Byzantine-era historians and not used during the emperor's lifetime.

Of humble origin, Constantius had a distinguished military career and rose to the top ranks of the army. Around 289, he set aside Helena, Constantine's mother, to marry a daughter of Emperor Maximian, and in 293 was added to the imperial college by Maximian's colleague Diocletian. Assigned to rule Gaul, Constantius defeated the usurper Carausius there and his successor Allectus in Britain, and campaigned extensively along the Rhine frontier, defeating the Alamanni and Franks. When the Diocletianic Persecution was announced in 303, Constantius ordered the demolition of churches but did not actively hunt down Christians in his domain.[8] Upon becoming senior emperor in May 305, Constantius launched a successful punitive campaign against the Picts beyond the Antonine Wall.[9] He died suddenly at Eboracum (York) in July the following year.
