Constantine I
Lugdunum — Lyons, France
The Lugdunum mint (modern Lyons) was one of the most important western mints of the Roman Empire, operating continuously from the reign of Augustus. Under Constantine I, it produced a wide range of folles and reduced bronzes, notable for their consistent style, sharp engraving, and clear mintmarks. Lugdunum’s issues often reflect the political messaging of the early Constantinian period, including the BEATA TRANQVILLITAS altar type and the enduring SOLI INVICTO COMITI series. Its output is highly collectable and forms a key component of any Constantinian mint set.
