Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Semble inédit et non recensé pour la première officine avec ce type de buste.
Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. Seems to be new and not recorded for the first pharmacy with this type of bust.

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.
