<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 2978205, member: 10613&quot;]I don&#039;t think that Constantine was responsible for this legend change, or even knew about it. He appointed mint supervisors who oversaw details like this. This was perhaps a clever way of honoring Constantine and paganism at the same time, while not really deviating from the standard Sol issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine was not even in Rome during the years 316-17; he left in Sept. 315, long before hostilities had begun. Rome was a bit of a special case though, given quite a bit of latitude concerning pagan ideals, nicely evidenced by the continuing yearly issue of Festival of Isis coinage, some rare examples with Constantine on the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
