Commentary


Rubans de type 3. La cuirasse n’est pas visible sous le paludamentum, il pourrait donc s’agir d’un buste (A*21) drapé seulement. Au revers les lettres dans le champ F|T pourraient être les initiales de “Felicitas Temporum” pour la Félicité du temps.
Type 3 ribbons. The breastplate is not visible under the paludamentum, so it could be a draped bust (A*21) only. On the reverse the letters in the F|T field could be the initials of “Felicitas Temporum” for the Felicity of Time

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.
