Ex Brian Grover Collection (Roma XIX, 26 March 2020), lot 940.Upon the death of his father in AD 306, Constantine was acclaimed Augustus by his army while in northern England. Galerius, Augustus in the East and colleague of Constantius, declared Constantine should be elevated to Caesar, which he accepted while at Eboracum (York). Constantine temporarily settled at Treveri where he proceeded to improve and expand the city; building a new imperial palace, elaborate baths, markets, and roads. From here, he commanded one of Rome's largest armies, stationed along the Rhine frontier. This coin is one of Constantine's earliest issues in silver.

RIC VII 178; Alföldi 616; Depeyrot 44/2; Biaggi 2017 var. (officina); Jameson –; Mazzini 615/a var. (same). Lustrous, a few faint hairlines in the field on obverse, traces of deposits. Superb EF. Exceptional strike from fresh dies. From the Willamette Valley Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group 112 (11 September 2019), lot 661; Dr. Klaus Berthold ["Friend of the Romans"] Collection (Münzen und Medaillen AG 92, 22 November 2002), lot 304; Münzen und Medaillen AG FPL 573 (March 1994), no. 53; Münzen & Medaillen AG FPL 566 (June 1993), no. 35; Numismatic Fine Arts XXIX (13 August 1992), lot 438.Constantine I "the Great" was one of only three Roman Emperors to ever celebrate a Tricennalia marking 30 years of rule, an event celebrated by the issuance of this gold solidus type from the mint of Nicomedia in AD 335. Constantine had completely revolutionized the Roman world during his long and eventful reign, reunifying the empire after decades of internal division, moving the imperial capital to his own city Constantinople (the renamed Byzantium), and, most importantly, changing Christianity from a small, persecuted sect to the most favored religion of a huge multinational state. Even the visual iconography of coinage saw radical change: Here Constantine adopts an elaborate jeweled diadem in place of the former simple wreath worn by Roman rulers, and his long, carefully arranged hair presages the coiffeurs of medieval kings to come. However, Constantine was at pains to show some adherence to Roman tradition: The figure of Victory accompanied by a small winged Genius on the reverse does show continuity with the pagan past.

Fausta. Augusta, AD 324-326. Æ Follis (19mm, 2.90 g, 6h). Thessalonica mint. Struck AD 318-319. Draped bust right / Eight-rayed star within wreath. RIC VII 51; LRBC 824. Earthen brown surfaces. Near EF. The coinage of Fausta as Augusta commenced with her elevation to full imperial status in AD 324. Preceding these issues, however, was a remarkable series struck circa AD 318 at the Thessalonica mint on which both Fausta and her mother-in-law, Helena, are accorded the lesser title of Nobilissima Femina (N F). Both ladies had borne this rank for a considerable time, Helena since Constantine's elevation to imperial status in AD 306, Fausta since her marriage to Constantine in March of the following year. The significance of this anepigraphic reverse remains uncertain, though it presumably contains some reference to divine providence and destiny.
