House of Constantine – Four Bronze Coins of Rome’s First Christian Dynasty
This album presents four genuine bronze coins struck under the emperors of the House of Constantine (AD 306–361), the dynasty that reshaped the Roman Empire and secured Christianity’s place in history.
Contents:
Constantine I “the Great” (AD 306–337) – the first Christian emperor, who legalized Christianity and founded Constantinople.
Constantine II (AD 337–340) – Constantine’s eldest son, who briefly ruled the western provinces.
Constantius II (AD 337–361) – his long-reigning son, who strengthened the empire and upheld Christian orthodoxy.
Constans (AD 337–350) – the youngest son, remembered for defending Christianity and ruling over Italy and Africa.
Designs:
Each coin features the portrait of the emperor on the obverse, while the reverses display a variety of mythological figures, military imagery, and imperial propaganda, reflecting the values and messages of the dynasty.
Historical Significance:
The Constantinian dynasty represents one of the most pivotal chapters in Roman history. Under their rule, the empire transitioned from its pagan past toward a Christian future, while continuing to project military strength and divine favor through its coinage.
This set offers a compact yet powerful glimpse into the dynasty that stood at the crossroads of Rome’s ancient traditions and its emerging Christian identity. Each coin, preserved in Fine condition, is a direct link to the emperors who transformed the Roman world.
