| Obverse description | Radiate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximianus facing right, depicted with the characteristic spiky radiate crown of the antoninianus denomination. The effigy presents the emperor in military cuirass, rendered in the late Roman imperial style typical of the Tetrarchic period. The obverse legend encircles the bust in the field, partially legible on this worn example. The portrait conveys the stern, powerful character favored in Tetrarchic numismatic portraiture, with the radiate crown distinguishing the antoninianus from the lower-denomination denarius. |
