Fraction - Maximianus CONCORDIA MILITVM, Cyzicus

Issued from the Cyzicus mint in the first years of the Tetrarchy, this fraction belongs to the administrative reorganization that split imperial coinage production across a network of newly activated or expanded mints — Cyzicus among them — to supply the four courts simultaneously. The CONCORDIA MILITVM type was a deliberate ideological broadcast directed at the armies, reassuring troops of unity between emperors at a moment when the entire premise of shared rule required constant reinforcement.

Cyzicus struck with a KΓ or similar Greek-derived workshop mark during this period, a legacy of the mint's Hellenistic origins that persisted stubbornly into Latin imperial production.
