Constantius II, 22 May 337 - 3 November 361 A.D.
The longest lived of Constantine the Great's sons and successors, he ruled until 361 A.D. Upon Constantine's death, Constantius received the entire eastern empire as his inheritance. Soon after he added Thrace to his empire and as his brothers were killed, he annexed their territories. When he defeated the Western usurper Magnentius he was master of the entire empire. Although he started campaigning along the Danube, war with Persia forced his return to the East. Shortly after, he received news that Julian II had been proclaimed Augustus against him. Constantius died on his way to fight this new usurper and Julian II became ruler of the Roman Empire.


Falling Horseman
To the man on the 4th century Roman street, a service of paramount importance was protection from the barbarian invasions that had plagued the empire for years. The centrality of the army is evidenced by various coin types relating to the military.

One popular type is known as a "fallen horseman". It shows a Roman soldier spearing a smaller barbarian on horseback. These coins represent Roman military might.

INFO
Welcome to my shop! The pendants here are on average 1700 years old. Just to think of what has happened to it in between makes you feel small! The note has a description that makes clear where and when the coin was struck (see more info on this coin below). If we could only tell where it has been in between! All we know is that it has wandered its way around to you or your friend's neck. 

Each coin has been carefully crafted with its own custom bezel, securing the coin very well in its place. Wearing a coin and knowing its history provide a unique feel. I think they are a great idea for a gift for people that appreciate such a connection with history. Why wear a replica of a coin when you can have the real deal!
