<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2712884, member: 76194&quot;]Unlike her soft and odious bloodthirsty son, Constantine I, Saint Helena was actually a fairly amazing woman. In an age where women were seldom heard, she definitely stood out. She was a dutiful and dignified wife and mother, and was active in the shaping early Christianity. She is responsible for the building of many of the early Christian churches, and for locating many of the important sites in the New testament, as well as &quot;relics&quot; from the life of Christ.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked this humble but very appealing example from our friend [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] .</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613033[/ATTACH]</p><p>Helena, Mother of Constantine, 327 - 328 AD</p><p>AE Follis, Antioch Mint, 20mm, 2.88 grams</p><p>Obverse: FL HELENA AVGVSTA, Diademed and mantled bust of Helena right.</p><p>Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, Securitas standing left holding branch and raising robe with right hand, DE in right field, SMANT in exergue</p><p>RIC80[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
