This coin was issued in about 323 AD after Constantine defeated a Sarmatian army who attacked a garrison, which was possibly based at Campona (Campona was south of Aquincum, which is now Budapest). Sarmatia was situated on the other side of the Danube. At the time, Constantine was based in Salonica and was preparing for war with Licinius, who was emperor in the East. Sarmatia Devicta means "Sarmatia has been conquered."
