Beschrijving keerzijde The personification of Moneta, draped, standing facing left in a composed, frontal stance. She holds a balance scale in her extended right hand, symbolising equitable monetary standards, and a cornucopiae in her lowered left hand, representing abundance. The mint mark in the exergue identifies the Siscia mint and the officina, while a field mark appears flanking the reverse legend. The encircling inscription invokes the sacred coinage of the Augusti and Caesars.

Aanvullende informatie

By 302 AD, Diocletian's currency reform was less than a decade old, and the follis denomination it introduced was already beginning its long inflationary slide — the flan weight would shed nearly half its mass within a generation. Siscia, controlling key Alpine passes into Italy, was one of the most strategically positioned of the reform-era mints and produced heavily throughout the Tetrarchic period.

RIC VI 136b places this piece within the workshop output attributable to the collegial mint signature honoring all four Tetrarchs simultaneously — a deliberate ideological statement that individual rulers were subordinate to the system itself.
