In Constantine's division of the empire in 335, the newly appointed Caesar, Delmatius, was allotted Thessalonica. Constantine, who remained in control of the mints, apparently promoted Delmatius by striking twice as much silver for him as for the other Caesars. Of the known siliquae from this emission, 11 are for Constantine I, six each for Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans, and 11 for Delmatius.
