Saint Constantine I, The Great 307-337 AD. Bronze (AE) Follis coin. Weight 3.95 gram, Size 19 mm.
Descriptions of the type :
Laureate Constantine bust right / Two-towered camp gate, star above.
Constantine the Great not only legitimized Christianity but stopped persecution. He was the first Roman Emperor who declared himself a Christian.
We may assume that the towers of the Roman Camps were Fire (light) Signal facilities. The Facilities were burned in times of Danger or Battle to warn close Roman garrisons and/or to ask for help.
