| Obverse description | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Maximian facing right, viewed from the rear, with the emperor depicted in three-quarter perspective wearing a radiate crown, military cuirass with pteruges, and paludamentum. The Greek legend ΜΑΞΙΜΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ encircles the portrait within a beaded border, identifying the emperor as Augustus. The rendering is characteristic of late third-century Alexandrian tetradrachm portraiture, combining imperial authority with military bearing. |
