It is ironic that Constantine, who tradition tells us was 
the first Christian emperor (although he only actually
became one on his death bed), should have been honored with 
Pagan deification and commemorated posthumously with 
traditional pagan symbolism as found on this coin. He was 
the last emperor to be so honored.
