Commentary


Poids lourd. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié avec une association de ce type entre une tête diadémée et un revers avec l’indication VOT XX. Le diadème ne fait son apparition qu’au cours de l’émission suivante en 325-326 faisant mention des tricennalia de Constantin Ier VOT XXX.
Heavyweight. Seems to be completely unpublished and unrecorded with such an association between a diademed head and a reverse with the indication VOT XX. The diadem only appears during the following issue in 325-326 mentioning the tricennalia of Constantine I VOT XXX

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.
