Maximianus issued this aureus from Nicomedia in 294, the year Diocletian formally restructured the empire's administration into the Tetrarchy. Nicomedia was Diocletian's own capital in the East, making the mint's production of a coin honoring his co-emperor a deliberate statement of collegiate harmony — the whole ideological point of the new system. The HERCVLI epithet was Maximianus's assigned divine identity within the Tetrarchic theology: Diocletian took Jupiter, Maximianus took Hercules, and every coin reinforced that carefully engineered hierarchy.
RIC VI cites this as a rare issue, consistent with aurei from eastern mints in this period surviving in small numbers.
