NGC F - FINE Roman AE2 of Decentius -Rival of Constantius II , Brother of Magnentius
Magnus Decentius, who served as caesar of the Western Roman Empire from 350 to 353 under his brother Magnentius, emerged on the historical scene in 350 when Magnentius seized power from Constans. Appointed consul in 352, Decentius faced challenges after Magnentius lost the battle of Mursa Major. Exactions to fund the war led to a revolt in Gaul, resulting in Decentius' expulsion from Treves. Constantius II, emperor of the East, incited the Alamanni to pressure the usurper. Decentius was defeated by the Alemannic chief Chnodomar, besieged in Sens, and received news of Magnentius' defeat and suicide. In the face of these developments, Decentius took his own life, marking the end of the civil war.
