| Description |
These coins cover most of the 4th. Century A.D.;
including the great emperor Constantine I and
his two sons Constantius II and Constantine II. It
was Constantius II who had Julian imprisoned.
Fortunately, his life was spared and in 355 he
was restored to imperial favor and given the rank
of Caesar. He governed Gaul (France) with great
success, and when his troops revolted against
Constantius, they proclaimed Julian emperor. He
was noted for his considerable literary
attainments and especially for having preferred
old pagan religion to Christianity; a belief his
uncle would not have approved of. Valens is the
only one not a member of the Constantine
family; though he does playa role in having been
co-ruler with Constantine I in 314. These
handsome coins beautifully represent the
extraordinary 4th Century. This was a period
that was exciting, ever changing and dynamic;
just those qualities of the type of person who
chooses to wear such unique bracelet.
