Commentary
Avec son argenture superficielle. Bouclier avec umbo. Cuirasse cloutée. Même coin de droit que les exemplaires du trésor de Marchovelette n° 272, Bastien 396(alpha)a, pl. IV et que celui de la collection Daniel Gricourt, Bastien 396(alpha)b, pl. IV du Supplément I. Cet exemplaire est publié dans le Supplément II, Bastien n° 396(alpha)c, pl. XXI (coll. privée DC). Nous avons donc un coin de droit pour trois coins de revers et trois exemplaires. C’est le troisième exemplaire publié.

IV and that of the Daniel Gricourt collection, Bastien 396(alpha)b, pl. IV of Supplement I. This example is published in Supplement II, Bastien no. 396(alpha)c, pl. XXI (private collection DC). We therefore have one obverse die for three reverse dies and three examples. This is the third example published

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.
