Nummus - Constantinus I DV CONSTANTINVS PT AVGG, Quadriga, Antioch

Struck after Constantine I's death in May 337, this posthumous issue was part of an orchestrated consecration coinage produced under his sons. The quadriga type echoes earlier imperial apotheosis traditions — the same visual vocabulary used for Trajan, HadMarcus, and other deified emperors — but the political motive here was pointed: legitimizing the new Constantinian dynasty by publicly elevating their father to divine status. Antioch was among several eastern mints activated for this series, and RIC VIII#37 is well-documented with identifiable officina marks that allow precise attribution within the mint's output.
