| Reverse description | Hercules depicted standing facing right in a contrapposto stance, leaning with his right arm upon his club, which rests atop a rock draped with the Nemean lion's skin. The figure is rendered nude with muscular classical proportions, evoking the divine patron associated with Maximianus. The mintmark letter 'S' appears in the left field. The encircling legend proclaims the virtue and courage of the two Augusti, reflecting the Tetrarchic ideology of shared imperial power. |
