Follis - Maximianus SACRA MONET AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR, Siscia

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.
