Commentary


Poids lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture. Casque décoré et pointé. Cuirasse lisse pointée. Au revers, nous avons un “marquage” autour du A de SALVS inexpliqué. Malgré la rareté évidente du type, nous n’avons relevé aucune liaison de coin pertinente. Pour ce type, avons trois coins de droit et de revers pour quatre exemplaires. Cet exemplaire prendra le numéro 400d dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
Heavy weights. With all its silvering. Decorated and pointed helmet. Smooth pointed breastplate. On the reverse, we have an unexplained “marking” around the A of SALVS. Despite the obvious rarity of the type, we noted no relevant corner connections. For this type, we have three right and back corners for four examples. This example will take the number 400d 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.
