Gold Tremissis (1.48g) of Tiberius II Constantine
The obverse side of the coin features Tiberius himself asserting a connection to Constantine, one of the greatest and most well-liked Roman Emperors in history.
The reverse side features a cross potent depiction which is commonly seen on coins from Byzantium.Â
Both the obverse and reverse sides of the coin work together to reinforce Tiberius’ desire to be like Constantine and prove his devotion to Christianity, which as a result will gain the trust and support of his people.
