==Early life== While Crispus’ year of birth is nowhere outright stated, he must have been born before 307.<ref name="crispus">Hans Pohlsander, [http://www.roman-emperors.sites.luc.edu/crispus.htm Crispus Caesar (317-326 A.D.)]</ref> By that time, his mother [[Minervina]] was either dead or set aside, as his father Constantine was married to [[Maximian]]’s daughter [[Fausta]]. Constantine entrusted his eldest son’s education to [[Lactantius]], one of the most important Christian teachers of that time.<ref name="crispus"/> [[File:INC-1822-r Солид Крисп цезарь ок. 317 г. (реверс).png|thumb|Reverse of a ''solidus'' of Crispus, marked: {{Smallcaps|SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE}} ("''the security of the State''")]] in 309–310. Crispus was probably 10–15 years old at the time.[12] Lactantius followed Crispus to Trier in 317, when Crispus was made Caesar (subordinate co-emperor) and sent to the city.
