Commentary


Petit diadème perlé dans les cheveux et natte de cheveux relevée en arrière, ornementée. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Small pearl tiara in the hair and braided hair pulled back, decorated. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


GALERIA VALERIA

(+315)

Daughter of Diocletian, wife of Galerius - Augusta

Galeria Valeria is the daughter of Diocletian. By adopting Maximien Galère in 293, Diocletian had his daughter married to the latter. Galeria Valeria appears on the coinage after the conference of Carnuntum (11/11/308), but disappears from it after the death of her husband in 311. She remains under the protection of Maximin II Daia. After the disappearance of the latter in 313, she must flee. Licinius had her murdered two years later.
