Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Portrait particulier. 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. Quatrel exemplaires répertoriés dans le corpus du Docteur Bastien en 1976 (B. 6b, pl. LXIX avec la césure POPV-LI contre un avec la césures POP-VLI).
Type 3 ribbons. Special portrait. Exemplary of the greatest rarity. The title and portrait are very close to the Folles Lyonnais of the first three issues (294-295) and would therefore be minted in Boulogne. The follis is not from Lyon and has not had the exergue mark leveled or is not badly struck, the unwelcome mark. It is a Lyon scalptor as demonstrated by Doctor Pierre Bastien who follows the “comitatus” of Constance Chlore who is preparing to cross into Brittany in order to confront Allectus. Four examples listed in the corpus of Doctor Bastien in 1976 (B. 6b, pl. LXIX with the POPV-LI hyphenation versus one with the POP-VLI hyphenation)

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.
