Commentary


Poids très léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Robe consulaire richement ouvragée où les détails de la toga picta et de la toga palmata sont bien visibles. Au revers le globe n’est pas bien visible. Variante de césure de légende de droit qui ne semble pas recensée. Beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
Very light weight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Richly worked consular dress where the details of the toga picta and the toga palmata are clearly visible. On the reverse, the globe is not clearly visible. Variant of the caesura of the legal legend which does not seem to be recorded. Much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time that we offer this type for sale

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.
