Follis - Maximianus CONCORDIA MILITVM, Alexandria

Maximianus issued this series in the immediate aftermath of Diocletian's tetrarchic reforms of 293 AD, when the empire was reorganized around four co-rulers specifically to address the military fragmentation that had plagued the third century. The CONCORDIA MILITVM type was a direct propaganda response to that instability — the message aimed squarely at soldiers whose loyalties had made and destroyed emperors for decades.

The Alexandria mint resumed large-scale bronze production under the tetrarchy after a period of issuing the distinctive Egyptian tetradrachm. RIC VI 46b places this piece among the earlier Alexandria folles, before the mint mark conventions fully stabilized.
