Commentary
Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges fines sous le paludamentum. Sur cet exemplaire, c’est bien un sceptre vertical long que Jupiter tient verticalement de la main gauche. Même coin de revers que l’exemplaire du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF. (acquisition 1985/105), Bastien, Supplément II, n° 78c, pl. XV. C’est le quatrième exemplaire publié. prendra le numéro 78d dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
With its superficial silver plating. Type 3 ribbons. Thin pteryges under the paludamentum. On this example, it is indeed a long vertical scepter that Jupiter holds vertically in his left hand. Same reverse die as the example in the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF. (acquisition 1985/105), Bastien, Supplement II, no. 78c, pl. XV. This is the fourth example published. will take the number 78d in Supplement III of Bastien

Historical background
DIOCLETIAN
(20/11/284-1/05/305)
Augustus
Diocletian, born in 245 in Dalmatia (Split), is an Illyrian emperor. After having eliminated Aper, prefect of the praetorium, also father-in-law and assassin of Numérien, he put on the purple on November 20, 284. Fighting first against Carin, last son of Carus, he was beaten at Margus the following year. But Carin is assassinated and Diocletian alone remains august. He raised Maximian, a compatriot, to the rank of Caesar in November 285, then Augustus on April 1, 286. Diocletian had just created a new political regime, the dyarchy. Two emperors shared military and political power there, but Maximian remained subordinate to Diocletian. Diocletian places himself under the Jovian protection (of Jupiter) while Maximian is of Herculean essence (of Hercules). Diocletian spent the first ten years of his reign fighting in the East, while Maximian remained in the West. Diocletian is the first emperor of the Lower Empire, according to the expression of Gibbons, and the founder of the dominion.
