Interesting fact
The Follis coinage was introduced by Emperor Constans in 348 AD, and it was the first time that a Roman Emperor's image was featured on a coin with a crown. This was a departure from the traditional depiction of Roman Emperors wearing a laurel wreath, and it signified a shift towards a more Christianized image of the Emperor. The Follis coinage was also notable for its high bronze content, which made it more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to previous Roman coinage.
