The Labarum of Constantine
Description
English: Labarum of Constantine I (Vexilloid of the Roman Empire). Drawn after File:As-Constantine-XR RIC vII 019.jpg; the three dots represent three "medallions" or portraits that could not be rendered in detail on the coin, c.f. File:Konstantin den stores labarum, Nordisk familjebok.png
