Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse lisse pointée. Épaulière cloutées. Ptéryges larges à peine visibles. Au revers les lettres dans le champ T|F pourraient être les initiales de “Temporum Felicitas” pour les temps heureux. Sur cet exemplaire le T semble absent, mais a bien été frappé, visible quand on fait jouer le flan dans la lumière.
Type 3 ribbons. Smooth pointed breastplate. Studded shoulder guards. Wide, barely visible pteryges. On the reverse, the letters in the T|F field could be the initials of “Temporum Felicitas” for happy times. On this example, the T seems missing, but was indeed struck, visible when the flan is held in the light

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.
