Commentary


De la plus insigne rareté. Un nouveau jalon de la numismatique romaine pour l’atelier de Thessalonique Nous ne connaissions que le buste lauré et cuirassé à droite (B*) et le buste lauré et cuirassé à gauche, tenant la lance de la main droite placée sur l’épaule droite et un bouclier de la main gauche (F*). Nous retrouvons un buste déja rencontré pour l’atelier de Thessalonique, mais pour une autre émission.
Of the utmost rarity. A new milestone in Roman numismatics for the Thessaloniki mint. We only knew the laureate and cuirassed bust on the right (B*) and the laureate and cuirassed bust on the left, holding the spear in the right hand placed on the right shoulder and a shield in the left hand (F*). We find a bust already encountered for the Thessaloniki mint, but for another issue

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.
