Crispus, Caesar 317 - 326 A.D.

Flavius Julius Crispus was the son of Constantine I by his first wife. A brilliant soldier, Crispus was well loved by all until 326 A.D., when Constantine had him executed. It is said that Fausta, Crispus stepmother, anxious to secure the succession for her own sons falsely accused Crispus of raping her. Constantine, learning of Fausta's treachery, had her executed too.


	This issue has two regular obverse legends: unbroken FL IVL CRISPVS CAES (RIC VII 91) and broken FL IVL CRIS-PVS NOB C (RIC VII 92). It seems that on this die, the engraver attempted the broken legend but then realized he crowded the letters and decided to add from C to CAES - but this time he ran out of space and the legend ended in the unusual CAE.
