Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse et baudrier cloutés. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. De la plus grande rareté. Ce type n’apparaît pas dans la nomenclature du Dr. Bastien sur les bustes impériaux.

Historical background


CRISPUS

(1/04/317-09/326)

Caesar

Crispus is the son of Constantine and Minervine. Born around 300, he was named Caesar in 317 with Constantine II and Licinius II. Rightly or wrongly, he is accused by his stepmother of wanting to abuse her. Faced with these accusations, Constantine had his eldest son put to death in early 326.
