Commentary


Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Hybride. Cette monnaie de la plus grande rareté est une imitation. La légende de revers est fautée (NOSTROBV au lieu de NOSTRORVM). Elle associe un type d’avers de Constantin Ier lié à un type de revers de Constantin II ou de Crispus. C’est la deuxième fois que nous proposons un hybride de ce type pour l’atelier de Trèves qui semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. .
Type 2 ribbons with rounded ends. Hybrid. This extremely rare coin is an imitation. The reverse legend is incorrect (NOSTROBV instead of NOSTRORVM). It combines an obverse type of Constantine I linked to a reverse type of Constantine II or Crispus. This is the second time that we have proposed a hybrid of this type for the Trier mint, which seems much rarer than general works suggest.

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.
