Struck under Constantine I, this bronze follis circulated as the Roman world began to change forever.
It passed through military camps, city markets, and busy streets of the Roman Empire, exchanged by soldiers, traders, and families buying daily necessities.
This was working money, handled without ceremony, warmed by countless palms. Someone once trusted this coin to pay a debt or secure a meal nearly 1,700 years ago.
That moment is gone. The coin remains.
Still real. Still carrying its past.

Who held this before?
Picture the Roman world in transition. Military camps alive with shouted orders. Cities crowded with merchants, soldiers, and believers practicing old gods and new faiths side by side.
Power is shifting, and everyone can feel it. This bronze follis once mattered deeply.
It may have paid a soldier loyal to Constantine during brutal civil wars. It could have bought bread for a family living through religious change and political uncertainty. Perhaps it passed through a trader’s hands as Rome’s old traditions slowly gave way to a new order.
Hands shaped by loyalty, fear, and hope carried this coin forward. People who lived at the exact moment the ancient Roman world began becoming something new. Their lives ended. Their empire transformed.
