Commentary
Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Buste consulaire richement décoré avec la toga picta et la toga palmata orné de plusieurs couronnes accostée de globules. Au revers le globe est orné d’une étoile à six rais cantonnée de globules (RMBT. p. 97, n° 39). Variante avec VO/TIS, beaucoup plus rare, au lieu de VOT/IS avec moins de trois exemplaires recensés.

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.
