| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Maximianus facing left, with short, finely rendered beard depicted in tight curls, exhibiting the strong, naturalistic portraiture characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The emperor's hair is closely cropped and rendered with careful stippling, and a laurel wreath is positioned at the crown of the head. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximianus held his third consulship in 299 AD, sharing it with Diocletian as part of the carefully managed collegiate imagery the tetrarchy demanded. The PROCOS title — proconsular imperium — was an honorific carried by senior emperors rather than a functional office by this period, a deliberate echo of republican dignity grafted onto what was in practice an absolute monarchy.
RIC V.2 597 is a rare type. Gold aurei of the tetrarchic period survive in relatively small numbers compared to the bronze output, and consular issues tied to specific years narrow the window of production considerably.
