As to the coins of Constantine the Great as a whole, it need only be remarked once more that while upon many of the pieces struck by him Constantine attributed his victories to the Sun-God, not upon a single one of them did he attribute them to the Christ; while it was ever the Sun-God and never the Christ whom he alluded to on his coins as his Companion, Partner, Guardian, or Saviour. This being so, how can we honestly claim that the so-called Monogram of Christ, and other forms of the cross, were ever placed upon his coins by Constantine as symbols of the Christ, yet never as symbols of the Sun-God? CHAPTER XII. ROMAN COINS AFTER CONSTANTINE. Passing on to the Christian successors of Constantine the Great, we are at once met with the significant fact that Constantine the Second issued many different coins bearing a representation of the Sun-God holding a small round object; and, as the surrounding legend, _Claritas Reipublicae_. Another coin of this son of Constantine the Great, and one which deserves special attention, has upon its reverse a Cross and a Crescent in juxtaposition, as if the cross signified the sun. A very similar coin has the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"} between the military standards. Upon another coin we see on the reverse both this Christian Emperor and the Sun-God; the former holding a small round object, and the latter crowning him. The surrounding legend is _Soli Invicto Comiti_. The reverse of another coin bears the same Sun-God legend, and represents the Sun-God as holding a small round object. Upon another coin we see Constantine holding a small round object surmounted by a Victory. On the reverse is the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"}. Constans I., another son of Constantine the Great, issued a coin on which he is represented as holding in one hand a simply formed labarum or military standard consisting of a straight pole terminating at the top in a crossbar, from which hangs a banner bearing the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"}; while in the other hand he holds a small round object surmounted by a _Phoenix_. Constantius II., yet another son of Constantine the Great, issued a coin on which is the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"} between the letters {alpha} and {omega} (? APX{omega}); the legend being _Salus Aug Nostri_. On another coin is Constantius II. as the Sun, upon one side; and upon the other the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"} between the letters alpha and omega once again. Nepotianus, a nephew of Constantine the Great who took Rome in A.C. 350 but was killed as an usurper the same year, issued a coin on the reverse of which, surrounded by the legend _Urbs Roma_, is a female figure representing Rome and holding in her hand a round object surmounted by the symbol {image "monogram3.gif"}.
