Here is a silver coin of Constantine:
Constantine was born in AD272 or 273 at Naissus in modern-day Serbia, son of the Emperor Constanius.
He was proclaimed Emperor in the Roman stronghold of Eboracum, now
York in England in AD306 by his troops on the death of his father. They

“Head of Constantine’s colossal statue at the Capitoline Museums. The
original statue of marble was acrolithic with the torso consisting of a
cuirass in bronze…”
