An exceptional, highly detailed example of an ancient Roman bronze nummus struck under Constantine I, historically revered as Constantine the Great. Famed for issuing the Edict of Milan (which legalized Christianity) and moving the imperial capital to Constantinople, Constantine's reign transformed the course of Western civilization.
While the "Gloria Exercitus" type is one of the most famous military issues of the late empire, finding a specimen with this level of detail is a true pleasure. Boasting a highly expressive portrait, sharp legends, and beautifully preserved figures of the legionaries on the reverse, this coin is a premium addition to any historical type set or ancient coin collection.
