Five Ancient Coins, Five Constantinian Emperors

Constantine succeeded Emperor Flavius Constantius when he died in 305. Christianity did well under Constantine’s rule. He was the first emperor to convert to Christianity, and his actions and policies helped popularize Christianity bringing it to the forefront. Because of this, Eastern Christianity celebrates him as a saint. Each of these five bronze coins features the portrait of a Constantinian Emperor:

• CONSTANTINE I. Known as Constantine the Great, Constantine reigned as Roman emperor from 306 to 337. Constantine made Christianity the main religion of Rome, and created Constantinople, which became the most powerful city in the world.
• CRISPUS. Flavius Julius Crispus was the eldest son of Constantine the Great. He reigned alongside his father as junior emperor from 317 until he was executed by his father in 326 after rumors spread that he was sleeping with his father’s wife.
• CONSTANTINE II. The oldest son of Constantine the Great, Constantine II reigned as junior emperor and was co-emperor with his brothers from 337 to 340. Jealous that he didn’t receive more land following his father’s death, he sought to grab territory through force of arms and was killed in 340 by elite troops sent by his brother Constans, who then took control of his deceased brother's realm.
• CONSTANS. Flavius Julius Constans was the youngest son of Constantine the Great and reigned as emperor from 337 to 350. Dominated as a child by his older brother Constantine II, Constans had the last laugh by orchestrating his oldest brother’s assassination. The years of bullying left him psychologically damaged, and he became renowned for his cruelty and misrule. So, when one of his generals, Magnentius, declared himself emperor in 350, few people rallied to his aid. He was eventually tracked down and killed while he was seeking sanctuary in a temple.
• CONSTANTIUS II. Another son of Constantine the Great, Constantius II reigned as junior emperor from 324 until 337 when he began his reign as co-emperor with his brothers. One of his first actions as emperor was to assassinate his father-in-law, an uncle, and several cousins, thus consolidating his hold on power. Knowing he was fatally ill, he had himself baptized just before his death in 361.
