Commentary
L’une des dernières apparitions du buste lauré pour Constantin Ier. Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Sur cet exemplaire, entre les lauriers, on semble deviner la tainia (bandeau). Six rangs verticaux de pierres au revers.
One of the last appearances of the laureate bust for Constantine I. Type 2 ribbons with rounded ends. On this example, between the laurels, one seems to make out the tainia (band). Six vertical rows of stones on the reverse

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.
