Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantinus I coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who ruled the Roman Empire from 306 to 337 AD. This particular coin was minted in Cyzicus, a city in modern-day Turkey, and features an image of the emperor on one side and the goddess Providentia on the other. The coin's design and inscription reflect the religious and political changes that took place during Constantine's reign, including the adoption of Christianity as the empire's official religion. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Nummus - Constantinus I coin is a significant artifact that provides insight into the history and culture of the Roman Empire during this period.
