<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2743799, member: 87200&quot;]I&#039;ve got several of the deified Constantine types, I find them interesting in light of Constantine&#039;s disputed conversion to Christianity on his deathbed and the <i>in hoc signo vincere</i> message that he had in his vision prior to the battle with Maxentius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine was first known for some affinity to the god Mithras, followed by Soli Invicto (as portrayed on the coinage), and finally Christianity according to the historian Eusebius. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin shown here doesn&#039;t really answer the question as to whether the Christian god is being represented. Obverse, veiled head of Constantine facing right, Reverse, Constantine driving quadriga, hand of god reaching down. Please share your posthumous coins of Constantine (RIP) if you wish. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]626943[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]626945[/ATTACH] </p><p>Condition isn&#039;t great (came from a hoard of Constantinian bronze pieces)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
