Solidus - Constantine I VICTOR OMNIVM GENTIVM, Thessalonica

This solidus dates to the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Chrysopolis in September 324, where Constantine defeated Licinius and became sole ruler of the Roman world. The VICTOR OMNIVM GENTIVM reverse type — "victor over all peoples" — was a deliberate political statement issued within months of that victory, broadcasting universal dominion from the Thessalonica mint, which had been Licinius's own facility before Constantine absorbed it into his network. The mint's transition to Constantinian production was rapid enough that some early post-conquest issues show hybrid workshop conventions.
