Commentary


Poids léger. Hybride associant un droit de Constantin Ier et un revers normalement réservé aux césars, Crispus, Constantin II ou Constance II. Buste large et massif. Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Six rangs verticaux de pierres. Nous sommes certainement en présence d’une monnaies officielle, mais avec un mélange de coins qui pourrait expliquer cette association anormale.
Lightweight. Hybrid combining an obverse of Constantine I and a reverse normally reserved for the Caesars, Crispus, Constantine II, or Constantius II. Large and massive bust. Type 2 ribbons with rounded ends. Six vertical rows of stones. We are certainly in the presence of an official coin, but with a mixture of dies that could explain this abnormal association.

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.
