SOLD ________________________________________________________ LOT 7. The IOVI CONSERVATORI types are an important part of the history of Christendom, as they were struck immediately after the Edict of Milan (an agreement between Licinius I and Constantine I) which gave Christianity legal status and a reprieve from persecution. Eventually Licinius would renege on the agreement and the empire would be plunged into a civil war from which Constantine would emerge as victor. These coins were struck during the uneasy peace between the cousin kings. Jupiter is the special protector of Roman emperors. Here is a follis of Constantine I. $25 shipped.
