Fraction - Maximianus CONCORDIA MILITVM, Antioch

This issue dates to the period of the First Tetrarchy, when Diocletian restructured imperial coinage through the currency reform of 294–296 AD. The CONCORDIA MILITVM type was a deliberate propaganda instrument aimed at projecting unity among the four co-rulers at a moment when military loyalty was the entire structural basis of the system. Antioch was a primary eastern mint precisely because of its proximity to the Persian frontier, where Galerius would campaign against Narseh just two years after this piece was struck.

RIC VI 60b is the Antioch officina variant within a broader parallel striking program distributed across multiple eastern mints simultaneously.
