| Additional information |
The PACATORES GENTIVM ("Pacifiers of the Nations") aurei from Trier belong to the propaganda campaign surrounding Constantius I's recovery of Britain from the usurper Allectus in 296 — a campaign that Maximian, as co-Augustus, shared in ideologically if not operationally. The Trier mint was the natural production center for such a commemorative issue, positioned as it was at the administrative heart of the western empire's military apparatus.
The Beaurains hoard, discovered in northern France in 1922, preserved several specimens of this type and remains the principal source for understanding its distribution and survival pattern.
