| Description |
SIX BRONZE COINS OF THE FOLLOWING EMPERORS (From left to right: Maximianus(Reigned Intermittently Between A.D.286-310); Constantine 1 (A.D.3O7-337); Maximianus; Constantius II (A.D.337-361); Maximianus; Constans (A.D.337-350)
On this lovely bracelet are gathered important members of the Constantine family; including Constantine the Great, his two youngest sons and father-in-law Maximianus. Though it is unlikely they would all have been together in real life, they now are perfectly grouped together. They turn to face one another, decked in laurel crowns and diadems as signs of high office. Centuries ago these men ruled much of the known world; sometimes at peace, mostly at war against invading hordes on frontiers stretching from Britain to Persia. The great joy of coins is their ability to bring to life images that still exude the power and presence of the men they represent. Certainly these emperors would be proud to see such a gathering of their coinage, assembled in gold and fit for royalty.
