This is part of a series honoring Constantine's relatives who had previously been emperor. Not everyone accepts as factual his descent from Claudius II and Maximianus was by adoption but all three are attributed in RIC to 318 AD long after all three had died. The question for collectors is whether to keep the three together under Constantine or split them up under the individual being honored.
