Constantius I, May 305 - 25 July 306 A.D.
|Constantius| |I|, |Constantius| |I,| |May| |305| |-| |25| |July| |306| |A.D.|, "KARTHAGO (Carthage, Tunisia - 36°54'N, 10°16'E), on a peninsula in the Bay of Tunis, was founded as a Tyrian colony about 800 BC. It rivaled Rome by the third century BC, but after three Punic Wars in the period from 264 BC until 146 BC it was finally destroyed by Rome. Rome re-colonized it about 42 BC and it grew to become the second largest western city by the third century. Maximian opened a mint there in 296, but it was moved to Ostia in 307. The usurper Alexander struck his coins there from 308 to 311. The city was lost to the Vandals in 439, recovered in 533, and finally lost to the Muslims in 697." - from Moneta Historical Research by Tom Schroer
