Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. La couronne laurée semble séparée par un filet qui pourrait être un pan du bandeau de laine (taenia) que portait le basileus grec.
Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. The laureate crown appears to be separated by a net which could be a section of the woolen headband (taenia) worn by the Greek basileus

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.
