Commentary


Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Petite effigie. Rubans de type 1. 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 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 all of its surface silvering. Small effigy. Type 1 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 inappropriate 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. Two examples listed in the corpus of Doctor Bastien in 1976 (B. 5a-b, pl. LXIX with the POPV-LI hyphenation versus one with the POP-VLI hyphenation

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..
