Beschrijving keerzijde The goddess Salus, personification of health and well-being, stands facing right, draped in flowing robes. She extends her right arm forward to feed a serpent coiled around her left arm, the snake being a classical symbol of healing and renewal. The figure is rendered in the Tetrarchic style with a radiate halo-like headdress, standing centrally in the field. The reverse legend SALVS AVGG encircles the type, with a beaded border visible on the right side of the flan.

Aanvullende informatie

Maximian's aurei from this decade are closely tied to the logistical demands of the early Tetrarchy — Diocletian's co-emperor needed mobile, high-value coinage to pay donatives and secure loyalty from officers on multiple frontiers simultaneously. The SALVS AVGG reverse, invoking the health and welfare of both Augusti, is a deliberate piece of dynastic messaging, emphasizing the dual rulership before the full four-man college was formalized in 293.

RIC V.2 341 is attributed to the Antioch mint, placing this particular issue in the eastern production network despite Maximian's western command.
