Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Les deux lettres T|F pourraient se développer sous la forme “Temporum Felicitas”, (les temps heureux). Ce type est bien connu pour l’émission sans point à l’exergue mais semble totalement inédit pour cette émission pointée !.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons. The two letters T|F could develop into the form “Temporum Felicitas”, (happy times). This guy is well known for the show without a dot but seems completely new for this show with a dot!

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.
