Commentary


Avec une partie de son argenture superficielle. Petite effigie. Rubans de type 1. Portrait large, 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 arrasée ou n’est pas mal frappée, 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. Deux exemplaires répertoriés dans le corpus du Docteur Bastien en 1976 (B. 5a-b, pl. LXIX avec la césure POPV-LI contre un avec la césures POP-VLI.
With part of its surface silvering. Small effigy. Type 1 ribbons. Large, unusual portrait. Extremely 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. Two examples listed in Doctor Bastien's corpus in 1976 (B. 5a-b, pl. LXIX with the caesura POPV-LI against one with the caesura POP-VLI

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..
