| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hercules stands facing left in a composed, frontal pose, extending an olive branch in his right hand as an emblem of peace, while his left hand rests upon his club, which is sometimes accompanied by the Nemean lion's skin draped over it. The figure is rendered with the muscular, heroic anatomy typical of Tetrarchic divine patron imagery, reflecting Maximianus's close identification with Hercules as his divine protector. The reverse legend encircles the field, and a mint mark appears in the exergue, varying by officina. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The HERCVLI PACIFERO ("Hercules the Peace-Bringer") type belongs to Maximianus's sustained effort to associate himself with Hercules as a divine patron — a relationship formalized through the tetrarchic system Diocletian constructed after 285 AD, in which Maximianus took the Herculian line while Diocletian claimed Jovian descent. The pairing was ideological architecture as much as religion, designed to project dynastic legitimacy onto a college of rulers with no hereditary claim to power.
RIC V.2 502C places this issue among the Siscia mint's output during the early tetrarchy.
