Additional information

The VOTIS X legend marks a vow renewal ceremony — the vota decennalia — celebrating ten years of a ruler's reign. For Maximianus, this places the issue squarely within the Diocletianic reforms of 293–294, when the newly established Tetrarchy was simultaneously restructuring both imperial governance and the coinage. The argenteus and reformed antoninianus were being retariffed across mints at exactly this moment, making the precise valuation of this type at the time of striking genuinely uncertain even in antiquity.
