Roman Empire. Constantine I 'The Great' (307/10-337). Follis (No reserve price)
The Follis coin minted during the reign of Constantine I 'The Great' (circa AD 307/10-337) represents a significant evolution in Roman coinage and imperial symbolism. Constantine, famed for being the first Christian Roman emperor and for founding Constantinople, implemented monetary reforms that included the introduction of the follis, a large bronze coin intended to stabilize the currency system after the 3rd century’s turmoil. These coins typically feature Constantine’s visage and Christian symbols, reflecting his religious policies and political propaganda. The follis became an important currency unit in the Late Roman Empire, and coins from Constantine’s reign are prized by collectors for their historical importance and artistic merit.
