A family murder?

My thanks to a group member for the ID on the Roman coin.

Thanks for looking...........Doug.


"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."


Just out of the ground.

Great find! Compared to Roman rulers, our founding fathers were saints.
