Commentary
Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Au revers, dix rangs verticaux de pierres. Semble inédit et non recensé pour la septième officine plutôt réservée à Crispus.
With its superficial silver plating. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. On the reverse, ten vertical rows of stones. Seems to be unpublished and not recorded for the seventh officina, rather reserved for Crispus.

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.
