During the early part of his reign, Constantine 
not only had to contend with the internal power 
struggles of Roman imperial politics, but was also 
constantly occupied in campaigns against the 
Franks and Alemanni. This coin records victories 
against the latter group. According to Depeyrot, 
this type could have been issued as late as 315 or 
slightly afterwards.
