Flavius Claudius Constantinus II was the eldest son of Constantine the Great and Fausta. He was made Caesar in AD 317 together with his half-brother Crispus. After the murder of Crispus, Constantine II was responsible for affairs in Gaul where he defeated the Alemanni, Goths and Sarmatians. In AD 337 he succeeded Constantine and took charge of the western provinces. In an attempt to disposess his youngest brother Constans, he was defeated and killed while invading Italy in AD 340.

The motive of the camp gate as a reverse type became popular during the Licinian and Constantinian periods of civil war. The reverse legend often reads PROVIDENTIAE AVGG. This military type usually depicts a gate set in a block-like structure, a wall or a tower surmounted by turrets (beacons), within the wall doors or door openings. At the top turrets are displayed - on the frontier these were used to signal the next fortification in line. Some camp gates are decorated with arches and dots in the top row.
