A man of great wisdom

Ostensibly struck to honour the city of Rome, the Wolf & Twins Bronze was more than a simple commemorative type. It was an astute political statement by a wise ruler. Constantine was aware that his plan to shift the seat of government from Rome to the new city of Constantinople could upset the people of Rome. So, attempting to defuse any potential upheaval, the Wolf & Twins Bronze was created as a powerful celebration of the glory of Rome, effectively asserting that Constantinople was a continuation of Rome 's greatness, not its replacement.

Tapping into history

Originally handed out at the consecration ceremony of Constantinople in 330AD, the designs chosen for this coin were specifically intended to swell Roman pride. Unusually, the Emperor 's portrait did not appear on the coin, but rather the bust of Roma the Goddess of Rome. The reverse celebrated Rome 's greatest legend, with the city 's mythical founders, Romulus and Remus, being suckled by the she-wolf. As the relocation of the Roman Empire 's centre of power from the west to the east took place without great incident, one can only assume that Constantine would have been satisfied that his ingenious use of currency was an unqualified success.
