Flavius Victor, c. 387 - 28 July 388 A.D.
|Flavius| |Victor|, |Flavius| |Victor,| |c.| |387| |-| |28| |July| |388| |A.D.|, "ARELATE (Arles, France - 43°41'N, 4°38'E), founded in or before the sixth century BC by colonists of Greek descent from Massalia (Marseille, France), was on the Rhone about 15 miles from the sea. After 104 BC when canals to the sea were cut around the silt-laden Rhone delta, it grew rapidly, with its fastest growth under Augustus as upstream Lugdunum grew. It became the capital of Narbonensis Secunda in the late third century, and an imperial mint opened in 313 operated until the city finally fell to the Visigoths in 476. In 328 its name was changed to 'Constantina', though 'Arelate' remained in use." - Moneta Historical Research by Tom Schroer
