Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle. Petite effigie. Rubans de type 3. Portrait particulier de qualité exceptionnelle. Tous les détails anatomiques du Génie sont visibles au revers. Exemplaire de la plus grande rareté. La titulature et le portrait sont très proches des folles lyonnais des trois premières émissions (294-295) et seraient donc frappés à Boulogne. Le follis n’est pas de Lyon et n’a pas eu la marque d’exergue arasée ou n’est pas mal frappé, la marque mal venue. Il s’agit d’un scalptor lyonnais comme l’a démontré le Docteur Pierre Bastien qui suit le “comitatus” de Constance Chlore qui s’apprête à passer en Bretagne afin d’affronter Allectus. Un seul exemplaire répertorié dans le corpus du Docteur Bastien en 1976 (B. 6d, pl. LXIX avec la césure POP-VLI contre trois avec la césures POPV-LI).
With its superficial silver plating. Small effigy. Type 3 ribbons. Particular portrait of exceptional quality. All the anatomical details of the Genius are visible on the reverse. A very rare example. The title and the portrait are very close to the folles lyonnais of the first three issues (294-295) and would therefore have been struck in Boulogne. The follis is not from Lyon and did not have the exergue mark leveled or is not badly struck, the mark is badly placed. It is a scalptor lyonnais as demonstrated by Doctor Pierre Bastien who follows the “comitatus” of Constance Chlore who is preparing to go to Brittany to confront Allectus. Only one example listed in Doctor Bastien's corpus in 1976 (B. 6d, pl. LXIX with the caesura POP-VLI against three with the caesura POPV-LI)

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.
