| Reverse description | Hercules, the divine patron of Maximianus Herculius, depicted standing and facing left, his weight resting upon his club held in the right hand, while the left hand bears the apples of the Hesperides and the Nemean lion's skin, symbols of his Twelve Labours. The mintmark appears in the exergue, identifying the Alexandria mint. The composition reflects the Tetrarchic ideology associating Maximianus with the demigod Hercules. |
