The Constantinian Era marks an important shift in Roman history - an end to the persecution of Christians and the slow but certain christianization of the Empire, which would culminate with Christianity being declared the only legal imperial religion in 380 AD.
Ironically, a notable exception to the trend was the Emperor Julian - the last Constantinian emperor - who tried to revive the old pagan beliefs and reinstitute religious freedom. He failed, however, and his successor Jovian - although not of Constantinian stock - were to be the last of the emperors of the Constantinian Era before the Roman Empire was split into two.

Ex. Roma Numismatics E-Sale 69; Lot 1204. This coin was part of a hoard of 3,442 coins discovered on the 22nd March 1970 by a detectorist just south of the village of Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire, England. Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of a Roman settlement nearby; the village was located on a major Roman road, the Fosse way linking Cirencester to Leicester, and would have been an ideal location for a posting station. The main hoard, containing 2,707 coins, was found in a field adjoining the Fosse Way and hidden 45cm below ground level. It was beneath flat stones and in a spherical mass that suggested their owner had buried them inside a bag. A further 735 coins were found scattered in the vicinity. The hoard consisted mainly of coins of Constantine I, and over half of the coins in the hoard (1,882) were struck at the London mint. The coin types present suggest that the hoard was assembled early in the reign of Constantine I, sometime between AD 317 and 319. This particular coin is rare, and the only one of it’s type in the BoW hoard. For another example, struck from the same dies, see CNG Mail Bid Sale 75; Lot 1139.
