Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Cuirasse et épaulière cloutées. Ptéryges fines. Émission frappée en 313 après la réduction au 1/96 L. signalé par H. Huvelin, op. cit. p. 49 et pas repris dans le RIC. VII. Suite à la restauration de la monnaie, nous pouvons corriger le classement de Vincent Drost, puisque nous voyons désormais clairement que la césure de revers se situe après le I de INVICTO et non après le V.

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.
