Beschrijving voorzijde Radiate bust of Emperor Maximianus facing left, draped in imperial mantle and holding an eagle-tipped sceptre. The portrait is rendered in the late Roman imperial style typical of the Tetrarchic period, with bold, abbreviated facial features characteristic of the era. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Latin capitals. The radiate crown, a distinguishing feature of the antoninianus denomination, is clearly rendered above the emperor's head.

Aanvullende informatie

Maximianus ruled as co-emperor under Diocletian's tetrarchic system, and the SALVS AVGG legend — invoking the health and safety of two Augusti — dates this piece to the period before the full tetrarchy was formalized with the elevation of the two Caesars in 293. The Lugdunum mint was responsible for a significant share of this type's output in the west, supplying an army stretched thin across the Rhine frontier and the ongoing campaign to recover breakaway Britain from Carausius.

RIC V.2 422 is among the more frequently encountered Maximianus antoniniani, though the silver content by this point had degraded sharply from earlier antoniniani standards.
