Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in a bold, slightly schematic late Roman style. The emperor wears a laureate wreath and articulated military cuirass with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The legend encircles the bust, reading IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, commencing at the lower left and running clockwise around the full circumference of the flan. The portrait conveys imperial authority with a pronounced jaw and strong profile characteristic of Constantinian coinage from the Rome mint.

Aanvullende informatie

RIC VII 97 belongs to a brief window when Constantine was consolidating sole control in the West following the defeat of Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge in 312. The Sol Invictus coinage from Rome's mint continued well into the 310s despite Constantine's gradual alignment with Christianity — a theological ambiguity he apparently saw no reason to resolve quickly. The Roma mint at this period was producing nummi under tight officina controls, and RIC VII 97 is assigned to a specific workshop sequence traceable by mintmark.
