Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines sous le paludamentum. Marque d’émission exceptionnelle au revers. Trace de frappe incuse du droit perceptible au revers (coin choqué). Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
With its surface silver plating. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Thin pteryges under the paludamentum. Exceptional issue mark on the reverse. Trace of incuse striking on the obverse visible on the reverse (shocked die). 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.
