ProvenanceFound Yorkshire, UK.
From the private collection of Robin Sykes, Yorkshire, UK, formed since the late 1990s.
During the 4th century, the urban life in Britain was in serious decline, and the supplies of currency from the Empire were temporarily disrupted, so the local imitations of Constantius II and the usurper Magnentius became necessary to cover the deficit.
