From the collection of a gentleman, acquired on the London art market in the 1990s.
The obverse legend of this coin is short for Populus Romanus ('the people of Rome'). The status of Populus Romanus was granted to the people of Constantinople when Constantine inaugurated his new capital on 11 May 330. This was significant for it gave the people of Constantinople the same legal status as Rome, meaning they could enjoy the benefits of the Ius Italicum. Notably this meant people born in the city of Constantinople automatically gained Roman citizenship and this entitled them exemption from land and poll tax, protection under Roman law and the ability to buy and sell property.
