| Reverse description | Hercules depicted standing, his head turned to the left, portrayed as the divine patron and protector associated with Maximianus. In his right hand he holds a club, while his left hand bears a trophy and the Nemean lion's skin, emblems of his celebrated Labours. The composition emphasises the dynastic ideology of the Herculian tetrarchic house, linking Maximianus directly to his divine patron. The reverse legend VIRTVS AVGG arcs across the upper field, with the mint mark appearing in the exergue below. The style reflects the official workshop production of the Diocletianic reform coinage. |
