Constantius I Chlorus Roman AE3 Quarter-Nummus (AD 293-306) NGC

Own a certified Roman bronze AE3 Quarter-Nummus of Constantius I Chlorus (AD 293–306), authenticated and slabbed by NGC. This coin connects to the critical restructuring of the Roman Empire during the early days of the Tetrarchy.

When Emperor Diocletian abdicated in 305 AD, he formalized the division of the empire into eastern and western halves, each governed by an Augustus and a subordinate Caesar. Constantius I Chlorus was appointed as Caesar of the West in 293 AD, tasked with defending and administering Gaul and Roman Britain — vital but unstable frontiers of the empire.

Constantius proved himself an effective and capable ruler. He reclaimed Britain from the rebel usurper Allectus and reinforced Roman authority along the Rhine frontier. His steady leadership during a period of fragmentation helped stabilize the western provinces and laid the groundwork for his son, Constantine the Great, who would eventually reunite and transform the Roman world.

AE3 Quarter-Nummus coins of Constantius Chlorus typically feature his laureate or helmeted bust on the obverse, projecting strength and legitimacy. The reverse often celebrates military victory, stability, or divine protection — essential themes for an emperor governing during times of uncertainty.

Certified by NGC, this AE3 Quarter-Nummus offers collectors a tangible connection to the Tetrarchic reforms and the early Constantinian dynasty — a must-have for those fascinated by the pivotal figures who helped save and reshape the Roman Empire.
