| Reverse description | Hercules stands facing right, depicted in the act of strangling the Nemean lion with both arms in a dynamic, muscular composition referencing his First Labour. A club rests on the ground behind him as an attribute of his heroic identity. Above and to the right, a winged Victory flies rightward, extending a wreath to crown the hero. The scene explicitly associates Maximianus with Hercules, reflecting the Tetrarchic ideology of the Herculian dynasty. The legend appears in two lines across the upper field, with a beaded border enclosing the design. |
