Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Robe consulaire richement ouvragée où les détails de la toga picta et de la toga palmata sont bien visibles. Ce type est en fait très rare et seul l’ouvrage (RMBT) le signale grâce à un classement plus pointu et spécialisé.
Type 3 ribbons. Richly decorated consular dress where the details of the toga picta and the toga palmata are clearly visible. This type is in fact very rare and only the work (RMBT) indicates it thanks to a more detailed and specialized classification

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.
