| Beschrijving keerzijde | A campgate rendered in three-quarter perspective, featuring a central open archway flanked by two tall lateral towers, with three forward-facing turrets surmounting the main structure and two additional rear turrets visible between the towers. The gate is depicted with four horizontal courses of dressed stonework, conveying solidity and imperial fortification. The composition references Rome's military and architectural supremacy under the Tetrarchy. The mintmark appears in the exergue below the gate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Diocletian's currency reforms of 294–296 AD restructured the entire Roman monetary system, reducing the aureus to a theoretical 1/60th of a Roman pound — a deliberate rationalization after decades of debased coinage had eroded public confidence in imperial currency. This Rome mint issue falls squarely within that reformed system, struck just as Diocletian and Maximian were consolidating the Tetrarchy and projecting shared imperial authority through coordinated coin types across multiple mints simultaneously.
The PROVIDENTIA AVGG reverse type, shared between the two Augusti, was a carefully chosen political signal — divine foresight attributed jointly to rulers who had never shared a throne in the traditional sense.
