| Reverse description | Hercules, the divine protector of the emperor, stands facing left in a contrapposto pose, extending an olive branch in his raised right hand as a symbol of peace, while his left hand rests on his club draped with the Nemean lion's skin. The reverse type invokes Hercules as the conservator of the emperor, aligning Diocletian with the Herculian dynasty under the Tetrarchy. The legend HERCVLI CONSERVAT arcs across the upper field, while the mintmark appears in the exergue and field. The composition reflects the propagandistic religious iconography favoured during the Diocletianic reform period. |
