Interesting fact
The Siliqua - Constantine I (AVGVSTVS; Nicomedia) coin was minted during the early years of Constantine's reign, a time of significant political and religious upheaval in the Roman Empire. Despite the turmoil, the coin's design remained relatively consistent with previous issues, featuring a depiction of the emperor on the obverse and a representation of the goddess Victory on the reverse. This suggests that the coin was intended to convey a sense of continuity and stability, even in the face of external challenges.
