Constantine Dynasty – Eight Bronze Coins of Rome’s First Christian Emperors
This boxed collection presents eight genuine bronze coins issued under the emperors of the Constantinian dynasty (AD 306–363), the family that forever changed the course of Roman and world history.
Historical Significance:
The dynasty began with Constantine the Great (AD 306–337), the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity. His reign legalized the faith, founded Constantinople, and reshaped the empire’s spiritual and political destiny. After his death, his legacy was carried forward—sometimes in rivalry, sometimes in uneasy alliance—by his sons, relatives, and successors.
This set includes coins of:
Constantine I “the Great” – founder of the dynasty and the first Christian emperor.
Crispus – Constantine’s eldest son, celebrated as Caesar before his tragic downfall.
Constantine II, Constans, and Constantius II – his three sons who divided the empire among themselves.
Constantius Gallus – Constantine’s cousin, appointed Caesar to help defend the East.
Julian II “the Philosopher” – Constantine’s nephew, remembered as the last pagan emperor of Rome.
These coins capture the faces and propaganda of an imperial family that stood at the turning point between the pagan past and the Christian future. Together, they form a tangible link to an age when emperors sought divine legitimacy not from Jupiter and Mars, but from the God of the Christians.
This eight-coin collection is more than a numismatic set—it is a family portrait of the rulers who transformed Rome into the first Christian empire.
