Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons ce type pour la première officine !.
Type 3 ribbons. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. Appears much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we've presented this type for the first pharmacy!

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.
