<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2232775, member: 42773&quot;]It can be noted that in the case of Constans, the scene on the reverse is theorized to depict the emperor&#039;s crossing of the English Channel in early AD 343. Only a military emergency would have justified a dangerous crossing during the winter months. Constans possibly had to repel an invasion of Picts and Scots.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Magnentius, he likely adopted a design that had become generic by AD 350. The rarity of these coins suggests that once Magnentius gained power, the mints were ordered to continue the same types, albeit briefly, with the usurper&#039;s bust and legends, until new types were mandated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
