After 668 AD.
These are rare "Arab Byzantine" coin variants. Don't fit the pattern of all the other types, so uncertain who made them, or even what language the legend represents.
I was very lucky to find them in separate uncleaned groups.
Dedicated in 315 AD to commemorate the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 AD) in which Constantine defeated his co-emperor Maxentius. The arch is decorated largely with sculpture looted from other emperors' monuments.
Constantine Access Teacher Workshop
On February 22, 2014, Delia Dunlap, Senior English Language Fellow, led a workshop for the five teachers of the Access program in Constantine, Algeria, in addition to four other teachers from the host institution (nine teachers total). The workshop focused on an introduction to TPR (Total Physical Response) and using songs as energizers. The teachers also assisted during Ms. Dunlap's workshop with the Access students and spent the better part of two days together. Ms. Dunlap also observed Access classes and provided feedback afterwards. The workshop provided the opportunity for the teachers to gain new skills and work together as a team. The U.S. Embassy - Algiers Public Affairs Section generously provided a stack of resources for the teachers to use in their classes, including books about Developing Writing, Forum magazine, and other materials. The teachers also received certificates of participation for the workshop. The visit helped to strengthen the positive relationship between the U.S. Embassy- Algiers and the Access program at the ULC School. Ms. Dunlap stated, "I am so honored to meet the incredible Access team in Constantine. They are an inspiration. I am deeply appreciative for the warm hospitality shown to me by Dr. Nasredine Magherbi, the Access Director, and all of the students, teachers, and administrative staff."
Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Detroit was born out of the spiritual and cultural needs of a burgeoning Greek immigrant community on the city’s west side. Beginning in the late 1920s with prayer gatherings in a rented Myrtle Street hall, the congregation officially formed in 1930 and worshipped in various makeshift spaces until purchasing land on Oakman Boulevard in 1944. Designed by Arthur Greig Jr., the structure was erected post‑World War II: the cornerstone was laid in 1948, and the first service under its signature partially complete dome took place on Palm Sunday, 1950
A striking example of mid‑20th‑century American Byzantine‑inspired Orthodox architecture, the brick‑and‑stone church features twin domed towers and a central green‐tiled dome that symbolically unites earth and heaven in Orthodox tradition . Interiors would have included classic elements such as an iconostasis separating nave and sanctuary, richly painted icons, and a raised altar area . The community thrived into the 1960s–70s, supporting a school wing and cultural center by 1960, but demographic shifts prompted relocation; by 1986, the parish moved to Westland, where a new sanctuary incorporating the original altar and iconography was completed in 1996
Along its journey from immigrant beginnings to Byzantine‑style landmark, Saints Constantine and Helen has stood as both a spiritual haven and architectural beacon for Detroit’s Greek‑Orthodox faithful.
Constantine's Obelisk (or Walled Obelisk), Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey, 28 October 2009. It was erected in the Hippodrome of Constantinople by the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius I to mirror the Egyptian one at the other end of the Hippodrome. In the 10th Century Constantine VII had it repaired and coated it with gilt bronze; the Arabs called it 'the tower of brass'.

Scarce early issue of Constantine as Caesar struck at Cyzicus, an eastern mint controlled by Galerius who only begrudgingly recognized Constantine's claim. Constantine appears at Cyzicus only briefly as Caesar in 207, then disappears from this mint until 211, probably after the death of Galerius.
