[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7952624, member: 120820"]Yes, but it doesn't seem to be about him specifically... On his first "Consecratio" coins for Divus Constantius, Constantine stuck with the traditional bare headed busts at London and Trier, and laureate at Lyons. It's when he switches to the "Memoria Felix" legend that the veiled bust was introduced, and then this is also used on the later Memoriae Aeternae and Reqvies Optimorvm Meritorvm types c.318 AD for all of Constantius, Maximianius and Claudius II. Maxentius, when issuing "Memoriae" types, first for Constantius, then later for all his relatives (Maximianus, Galerius, Constantius), a few years after their deaths, also uses the veiled bust for everyone. Maximinus also issued a "Memoriae" (not Consecratio) type for Galerius, immediately after his death, and used a traditional bare headed bust.[/QUOTE]
