Historical Context
During his early years Constantine's coins still featured the old Roman gods as Jupiter or Mars with the later transition to only depicting Sol and subsequently, after embracing Christianity, relinquishing the religious imagery with the exception of the very small, sparce, mostly randomly appearing Christian icons.
