Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Constantine I (Victoria - AVGG NN; Thessalonica) (319) coin is that it features the image of Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who was the first Christian Roman emperor and is considered one of the most important figures in Roman history. He ruled from 306 to 337 AD and oversaw many significant changes in the Roman Empire, including the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion and the creation of a new capital city, Constantinople. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the religious and political changes that took place during his reign.
