| Beschrijving keerzijde | The votive inscription VOT XX AVGG is arranged in three lines within a laurel wreath, the apex of which is adorned with a jewel or pellet, while the base is closed by the spread wings of an eagle. The wreath is finely rendered with individual leaves tied at intervals. This type commemorates the twentieth anniversary vows (vota vicennalia) of the Augusti, associating the issue firmly with the celebration of Diocletian and Maximian's joint reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The VOT XX legend marks the twentieth anniversary of Diocletian's rule — the vicennalia celebrated in 303, though these aurei were struck several years in anticipation of that milestone. Aquileia served as one of the key western mints reactivated under Diocletian's monetary reforms, part of the broader restructuring that decentralized production across the empire to sustain the tetrarchic system financially and logistically.
The Beaurains hoard reference is telling: a significant portion of the known population of late 3rd-century aurei traces back to that single Belgian find, buried around 312 AD.
