Interesting fact
The Centenionalis coin featuring Constantinus I (CONSTANTINOPOLI; Constantinopolis) was issued during the early years of Constantine's reign, specifically between 330-333 AD. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of significant change in the Roman Empire, as Constantine was in the process of establishing a new capital city, Constantinople, which would eventually replace Rome as the center of power. This coin serves as a tangible representation of the transition from the Roman Empire to the Byzantine Empire.
