Issued during the age of Constantine I, this AE3 commemorative coin was struck to honor legacy and transition rather than a single moment of rule.
It may have circulated in the newly founded Constantinople, passed through the hands of citizens adapting to a Christian empire, or been kept as a symbol of Rome’s renewal.
Nearly 1,700 years later, this coin survives as found, a small bronze witness to remembrance, change, and continuity.

Who held this before?
Picture the Roman Empire at a turning point. A new capital rising in the east. Old temples standing beside new churches. Power and belief shifting in ways no one fully understood.
This bronze coin once mattered in that moment of change. It may have paid a worker building the streets of Constantinople.
It could have bought bread for a family adjusting to new laws and new faiths. Perhaps a merchant accepted it while watching the center of the empire quietly move east.
Constantine ruled as Rome transformed itself. This coin passed through hands shaped by hope, uncertainty, and adaptation.
People living through the end of one world and the beginning of another. Their lives ended. Their empire changed.
