<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2746757, member: 87200&quot;]I have mixed feelings about Constantine. Let&#039;s see - he boiled his wife, killed his son, killed his nephew, dismantled the tetrarchy, and also had Licinius executed.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand he recognized that the seat of the empire should be in the east and selected a very strategic point. </p><p><br /></p><p>He ruled for a very long time and perhaps according to the realpolitik of the era, his actions weren&#039;t totally unusual, unseemly as they seem to us 1700 years later. I&#039;ll post a couple of coins later today...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
