Commentary
Avec des restes d’argenture superficielle. Un seul ruban visible. Casque et visière lisses. Cuirasse et épaulière cloutées. Ptéryges larges. Cippe orné d’un losange pointé cantonné de quatre points. Ce type n’est pas repris dans l’ouvrage de Georges Depeyrot et devrait trouver sa place après le 22/3.
With remains of superficial silver plating. Only one ribbon visible. Smooth helmet and visor. Studded breastplate and shoulder guard. Wide pteryges. Cippus decorated with a pointed lozenge with four points in it. This type is not included in Georges Depeyrot's work and should find its place after 22/3

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.
