| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mars, patron deity of the Roman legions, stands facing right in military attire, holding an upright spear in his right hand and a round shield in his left. The figure is rendered in the stocky, powerful style associated with Tetrarchic imperial iconography. The letter S appears in the left field and A in the right field as officina marks. The exergue bears the mint mark PTR, identifying the Treveri (Trier) mint. The reverse legend encircles the composition, dedicating the issue to Mars as Protector of the Father of the Fatherland. |

The MARTI PATRI CONSERVATORI issue from Trier belongs to a politically charged moment: Constantine was not yet emperor by any orthodox measure, having been proclaimed by his troops at York in 306 following Constantius I's death — an act the senior Augustus Galerius refused to fully recognize. The Mars reverse was a deliberate alignment with Maximian, whose patronal deity it was, cementing the short-lived alliance through which Constantine received the rank of Caesar rather than the Augustus his soldiers had demanded.
RIC VI 772a is a scarce variety within the broader Trier output of this period. The mint was operating under considerable political pressure to assert dynastic legitimacy through coin production.
