Commentary
Poids léger. Avec son argenture superficielle. Ce type est en fait rare et seul l’ouvrage (RMBT) le signale grâce à un classement plus pointu et spécialisé. Buste consulaire richement décoré. Rubans de type 3. Globe constitué d’un croissant haché.
Lightweight. With its surface silver plating. This type is actually rare and only the work (RMBT) reports it thanks to a more detailed and specialized classification. Richly decorated consular bust. Type 3 ribbons. Globe consisting of a chopped crescent

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.
