The middle denomination was almost the same diameter as the largest but contained less silver and was distinguished by left facing busts on their obverses
These commonly show the reverse type of a soldier leading a barbarian from a hut or the emperor with two captives
The third denomination was appropriately smaller and bore the popular design showing a Phoenix
After Silvanus revolted, he received a letter by Constantius that recalled him to Milan, but which made no reference to the revolt
