The grandson of Constantius I and son of Constantine, Constantius inherited rule of the Eastern empire from his father. Annexing the territories of his brothers as they died, Constantius assumed rulership of the entire empire with the death of the Western emperor Magentius.
The coins of Constantius II have two distinctive qualities. The first is the military theme of reverses; numerous coins feature camp-gate or turret architecture. On others, the emperor himself is portrayed as a soldier, a constant reminder of the source of his power. More than many other imperial Roman coins, those of Constantius II show him in reverse profile. Those portraying him facing right (East?) often show his head adorned with a pearl diadem. Those showing him facing left (West?)more often feature a traditional laurel wreath. One can only speculate on the possible messages sent to imperial subjects.
