Nummus - Constantine I BEATA TRANQVILLITAS, Lugdunum

The BEATA TRANQVILLITAS ("blessed tranquility") votive series was issued across multiple western mints in the early 320s, a period when Constantine was consolidating power after the defeat of Licinius at Adrianople in 317 had left the empire nominally divided but practically tilting westward. Lugdunum — modern Lyon — was one of the more active mints in this run, producing numbered officina variants that allow specialists to reconstruct production sequences with unusual precision.

RIC VII 153 is attributed to the second officina at Lugdunum. The crescent and star control marks used at this mint during these years remain a point of ongoing study in late Roman numismatics.
