Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Sur cet exemplaire, la couronne laurée semble doublée par une bandelette de laine (taenia). Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
With all of its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons. On this example, the laureate crown appears to be lined with a strip of wool (taenia). This type appears to be rarer than general works suggest.

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.
