Commentary


Poids lourd. Pour le Docteur Bastien, ce follis appartient à la troisième réduction pondérale (taille au 1/48 L.), fabriqué en novembre-décembre 307 avant l’élévation de Constantin Ier à l’augustat le 25 décembre 307 (cf. trésor de Domqueur, Somme, n° 1383, pl. XIX).

Historical background


CONSTANTINE I THE GREAT

(07/25/306-05/22/337)

Caesar

Constantine was proclaimed august on the death of his father in York in 306. In order not to offend Galerius and Severus, he contented himself with the title of Caesar recognized by Galerius, who had become "Senior Augustus". Constantine controls Gaul and Brittany. He resumed the title of august on December 25, 307 after having married Fausta, the daughter of Maximien Hercule.
