VIC - IN HOC SIN VIC on a large brass coin of Constantine the Great published as existing in the Pisani Museum.

It is now in the Cabinet des Medailles in Paris.

The coins bearing the name of |Constantine| with surname of VICT were previously all attributed to Constantine the Great, but Cohen has attributed them to Constantine II chiefly on the ground that the features on all these coins are of a young man and also because the portraits are the same as a great number of pieces with the tite IVN (junior). Cohen adds that the title Victor belonged or was given to the sons of Constantine the Great. There seems to be valid grounds for this attribution, at the same time Eusebius expressly states that the title Victor (NIKHTHS) was adopted by Constantine the Great as a fitting appelation to express the Victory which God had granted him over all his enemies.
