, otherwise,

From the collection of Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Lang, ex Numismatica Ars Classica 78, 26-27 May 2014, 1188.
Vetranio was the
magister peditum
of Illyricum when he claimed the purple in 350 at the request of Constantina, a daughter of Constantine the Great, in order to oppose Magnentius, who had deposed and killed Constans the same year. Though some literary sources accuse him of plain opportunism, Vetranio's coinage implies his loyalty to the house of Constantine and to the reigning emperor, Constantius II. Blocking Magnentius' access to Illyricum, Vetranio voluntarily stepped down when Constantius II marched westward to quell the rebellion, and in spite of the latter's reputation for extreme paranoia, the general was allowed to retire peacefully in Prusa in Bithynia.
