Commentary


Poids léger. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Porte de camp avec cinq rangs de pierres verticaux. Dans le trésor d’Appleford, nous avons 56 exemplaires de ce type. Néanmoins, il semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
Lightweight. With all its surface silvering. Type 2 ribbons with pelleted ends. Camp gate with five vertical rows of stones. In the Appleford hoard, we have 56 examples of this type. However, it seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale.

Historical background


CONSTANTINE I THE GREAT

(07/25/306-05/22/337)

Augustus

Constantine was born in 274, son of Constance Chlore and Helena. He was named Caesar on the death of his father on July 25, 306 and was proclaimed august on December 25, 307. He married Fausta, the daughter of Maximien Hercule, who gave him five children, three of whom were augusts. The first twenty years of his reign are devoted to imposing himself as the main august against Maximian Hercules, Galerius, Maxentius, Maximin II and Licinius. He is recognized as the first Christian emperor, although baptized only on his deathbed on May 22, 337.
