Editing 310 (section)

=== By topic ===

==== Commerce ====
* At [[History of Trier|Trier]], Constantine orders the minting of a new coin, the ''[[solidus (coin)|solidus]]'', in an effort to offset the declining value of the ''[[denarius]]'' and bring stability to the imperial currency by restoring a gold standard. The solidus (later known as the ''[[bezant]]'') will be minted in the [[Byzantine Empire]] without change in weight or purity until the [[10th century]].

==== Religion ====
* [[April 18]] &ndash; [[Pope Eusebius]] succeeds [[Pope Marcellus I]] as the 31st [[pope]], but is banished on [[August 17]] by the Emperor [[Maxentius]] to [[Sicily]], where he dies, perhaps from a [[hunger strike]].
