Origin: Israel Circa: 337 AD to 340 AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Roman Bronze Coin Rings Medium: Gold and Bronze Constantine II was born in 316 A.D., the eldest son of Constantine the Great and his second wife, Fausta. When the empire was divided upon the death of his father in A. D. 337 between him and his brothers Constantius II, Constans I, he inherited Gaul and most of Western Europe. Together with his brothers, Constantine II systematically murdered any of his relatives that he considered a threat to his throne. They left their young cousin Julian alive, however, and Julian ultimately did lead a successful revolt and become emperor. Part of the arrangements made between the three brothers included Constantine II acting as regent for Constans, who was considered somewhat young to rule in his own right. In 340, Constantine II and Constans got into an argument over the administration of Italy. Constantine II gathered an army to go chastise his brother, but was soundly defeated in the battle that took place near the city of Aquileia, in the North of Italy close to the western slopes of the Julian Alps. Constantine II was killed in the battle after bitter fighting. - (FJ.6032)   « Less

Origin: Coin Found in Israel Circa: 317 AD to 326 BC Collection: Coin Jewelry Style: Roman Coin Rings Medium: Bronze and Gold Flavius Julius Crispus was born in 303 A.D., the eldest son of Constantine the Great and his first wife Minervina. He was named Caesar in 316 A.D., served as Consul three times, and governed Gaul in 320 A.D. Crispus was also an able and popular military commander, leading forces to victory against Germanic barbarians as well as commanding the naval fleet during the final war against Licinius and his son. Unfortunately, Crispus’ promising life was cut short when he was executed in 326 A.D. at his father’s command. Apparently, his step-mother, Fausta, accused him of having an affair with her. However, it seems as though she really just wanted to get Crispus out of the way so that her sons would be first in line for the throne. When it was determined that Fausta was lying, she too was executed. How many hands have touched a coin in your pocket or purse? What eras and lands have the coin traversed on its journey into our possession? As we reach into our pockets to pull out some change, we rarely hesitate to think of who might have touched the coin before us, or where the coin will venture to after it leaves our hands. More than money, coins are a symbol of the state that struck them, of a specific time and location, whether contemporary currencies or artifacts of a long forgotten empire. This stunning hand-struck coin reveals an expertise of craftsmanship and intricate sculptural detail that is often lacking in contemporary machine- made currencies. This ancient coin is a memorial to Crispus, passed from the hands of civilization to civilization, from generation to generation that still appears as vibrant today as the day it was struck. - (FJ.6034b)   « Less

Origin: Israel Circa: 337 AD to 361 BC Collection: Roman Coin Pendant Medium: Bronze-Gold Constantius II was the third son of Constantine I. After his father' s death he was given the title of Augustus in the east. The government of the vast empire was divided between himself and his two brothers Constans and Constantine II.

To deal with this menace Constantius appointed his cousin Julian, an act that was to turn against him. After successful campaigns Julian was proclaimed emperor by his army.
