| Reverse description | Standing figure of Hercules facing left, nude and bearded, depicted in a resting pose with his right hand resting on his club, which is set upon the ground, and a lion's skin draped over his left arm; the composition reflects the Tetrarchic veneration of Hercules as the divine protector associated with Maximian. The reverse legend HERCVLI CONSERVAT encircles the field, proclaiming Hercules as the protector and preserver of the emperor. The mint mark PXXIT appears in the exergue, identifying the Rome mint officina and emission. The overall style is characteristic of late third-century Roman coinage, with a somewhat schematic but energetic rendering of the divine figure. |
