Description: NGC AU Roman AE of Constantine II (AD 316-340) Constantine II was the first son of Constantine the Great and his second wife, Fausta. He was ”born in the purple“—that is, his father was Augustus when he came into the world—and he grew up a spoiled, entitled child. When his brother Constans came of age and Constantine, who had grown accustomed to dominating his younger brother, would not relinquish the guardianship. In 340 Constantine marched into Italy at the head of his troops to claim territory from Constans.Constans, at that time in Dacia, detached and sent a select and disciplined body of his Illyrian troops, stating that he would follow them in person with the remainder of his forces. Constantine was killed by Constans' generals in an ambush outside Aquileia. Constans would then take control of his deceased brother Constantine's realm.
