<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2331934, member: 32619&quot;]Something worth keeping in mind is religious conversion just doesn&#039;t happen because a ruler declares a new state religion. There is a period of transition from the old to the new. Consider regions that are currently undergoing a conversion where old religious beliefs are held at the same time as the new. This will last for some time and once complete will reshape the form of Christianity in that location. An interesting book on the subject is &quot;The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity&quot; by James C. Russell.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still don&#039;t have this type of Constantine coin mentioned in the original post and I showed my others in the last Constantinian thread but below is &quot;today&#039;s favorite.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-29-constantine-i-victory.3388/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Time of Constantine I, AD 306 - 337</p><p>EA, 1.7g, 19mm; 6h; Thessalonica, Greece</p><p>Obv.: CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS; bust left, laur. helmet, wearing imperial cloak, reversed spear</p><p>Rev.: Victory standing left on prow holding spear and shield</p><p>In Ex.: SMTS⌂</p><p>Ref: NOT IN RIC, unlisted officinal - ⌂.
