Flavius Claudius Constantius Gallus, son of Julius Constantius and nephew of Constantine I, was exiled to Asia Minor on the death of his father. During the revolt of Magnentius, Constantius II appointed Gallus as Caesar (AD 351) to rule the East, while Constantius himself had to deal with Magnentius. Gallus took the name of Constantius and made Antioch his headquarter from where he ruled with such cruelty that he had to be executed in AD 354.

The coinage of Gallus in general celebrates the 1100th anniversary of Rome. His reverse types usually show Gallus holding a labarum while he kicks a standing captive. The reverse type above shows a soldier spearing a falling Persian horseman - a type that was struck for Constantius, possibly referring to him striking down the Persian king.
