Constantine I Commemorative Silvered Bronze

Struck in the years following the death of Constantine I, this small bronze coin bears one of the most enduring images of the ancient world: the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. Compact in scale yet instantly recognizable, the design connects the viewer directly to Rome’s mythic origins, a story that continued to define the empire even in its final centuries. Additional photographs will be added shortly; the third image shown is of a similar coin placed beside a U.S. quarter to give a sense of size.
