Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Cet exemplaire présente un cas de regravure non signalé avec la légende MAXIMIANVS regravée sur CONSTANTIVS, en particulier visible au niveau des trois premières lettres. Ce cas ne semblait pas signalé par Daniel Gricourt dans son article paru dans la RBN en 1984, ni par les auteurs du Supplément II du Bastien en 2003. Semble complètement inédit et non signalé. Sera publié dans le Supplément III sous le numéro 552c techn.
With its superficial silvering. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. This example presents an unreported case of re-engraving with the legend MAXIMIANVS re-engraved on CONSTANTIVS, particularly visible at the level of the first three letters. This case did not seem to be reported by Daniel Gricourt in his article published in the RBN in 1984, nor by the authors of Supplement II of Bastien in 2003. Seems completely unpublished and unreported. Will be published in Supplement III under the number 552c techn

Historical background


GALERIUS

(1/03/293-5/05/311)

Caesar

Galère is of humble origin. Chosen as Caesar on March 1 or May 1, 293, he was subordinate to Diocletian to help him govern the East. Galerius suffered a crushing defeat in 296 against the Sassanids but the following year he defeated Narses. According to Lactantius, he was at the origin of the persecution of Christians in 302-303. During Diocletian's illness, he pushes the latter to abdicate. Diocletian and Maximian leave power on May 1, 305 to Galerius and Constance, who become augusts. The last six years of his life, he watched helplessly as the political regime created by Diocletian: the Tetrarchy crumbled. He died on May 5, 311 after having interrupted the persecution against Christians five days earlier..
