<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3717459, member: 83956"]Yes, Eusebius describes this coin in his VITA CONSTANTINI. Of course, what Eusebius doesn’t stress is the way in which that Christian and solar imagery could be nicely conflated. I assume that if Constantine did not order that design himself, his sons would have an interest in doing so, like Augustus, who did not claim to be a god, but merely the son of a god--DIVI FILIUS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
