Second wife of Constantine I and daughter of Maximian. Fausta was blamed for presenting false accusations of intended rape against her by Crispus, her stepson. Constantine then had his son murdered as a result. When the plot was revealed Constantine avenged Crispus's innocence by having her boiled to death.
Fausta is perhaps a touch scarcer than a Helena but not by much. Like Helena, most of her run of coins are an example of art immobilisé as mints all across the Roman lands made coins with just one reverse type but, for what it’s worth, they were allowed a modicum of artistic liberty when rendering her portrait and hair style.
