Constantine the Great Bronze Coin with 14K Yellow Eye and Bail Ref 815871

This authentic hand struck Roman Empire bronze coin was minted between A.D. 313-363 during the reign of Constantine the Great. Constantine and his sons ruled the empire jointly during the period the coins were minted and were responsible for the adoption of Christianity by the Roman Empire. This was considered one of the most important reigns of Late Antiquity and established the foundations for the post-classical European civilization. Constantine and his sons made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. The actual legalization and support of Christianity along with the foundation of a "New Rome” at Byzantium, ranks among the most momentous decisions ever made by a European dynasty.
