In \u003cstrong\u003eAD 313\u003c\/strong\u003e, Constantine and Licinius agreed on a policy of religious toleration and restitution traditionally associated with the \u003cstrong\u003eEdict of Milan\u003c\/strong\u003e. That settlement created a much more favorable legal environment for Christians, but it is more accurate than saying Constantine alone simply “legalized Christianity” in a single act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstantine also refounded Byzantium as \u003cstrong\u003eConstantinople\u003c\/strong\u003e, dedicating the enlarged city in AD 330 as a major imperial capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Constantine died in \u003cstrong\u003eAD 337\u003c\/strong\u003e, posthumous coinage was issued in his name under the new Constantinian regime.

Some posthumous issues show a quadriga ascending with a hand reaching down from above. This reverse is commonly interpreted in Christian terms as Constantine’s ascent toward heaven beneath the \u003cstrong\u003eHand of God\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the imagery also draws on older Roman traditions of imperial consecration and should be understood within that blended late Roman visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every posthumous Constantine coin uses the same reverse, so the exact type supplied may vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coin offers a tangible connection to the political world immediately after Constantine’s death, when his memory remained central to the dynasty that succeeded him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You’ll Receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne authentic posthumous bronze coin of Constantine I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCivilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynasty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constantinian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e After AD 337\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact mint and reverse type may vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a display album\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepresentative example shown \u003cem\u003e(each coin is unique)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuy with Confidence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuaranteed authentic ancient coin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarefully sourced and attributed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-day return policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure shipping from the U.S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLearn More\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/kinzer-coins-journal\/constantine-posthumous-ghost-emperor-coins\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6202\/7570\/articles\/constantine-i-ghost-emperor-posthumous-coins-journal-featured-image.png?v=1788638686\" alt=\"Constantine I “Ghost Emperor” Coins: Posthumous Coinage After AD 337\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinue the story in the Kinzer Coins Journal: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/kinzer-coins-journal\/constantine-posthumous-ghost-emperor-coins\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstantine I “Ghost Emperor” Coins: Posthumous Coinage After AD 337\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kinzer Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50904333386034,"sku":"SQ2198811","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6202\/7570\/files\/constantine-i-ghost-emperor-posthumous-coin-collection-about-1680-years-ago-2958035.webp?v=1771884196","url":"https:\/\/kinzercoins.com\/products\/constantine-i-ghost-emperor-posthumous-set","provider":"Kinzer Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
