Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. les Ptéryges sont invisibles sous le paludamentum. Les lettres dans le champ pourrait peut-être se développer par Semper Augustus (toujours auguste).
Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. The pteryges are invisible under the paludamentum. The letters in the field could perhaps be developed by Semper Augustus (always august)

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.
