Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons. This type appears to be much rarer than general literature suggests.

Historical background
MAXENTIUS
(28/10/306-28/10/312)
Augustus
Maxentius, son of Maximian, was proclaimed Caesar on October 28, 306 in Rome, then took the title of Filius Augustorum. In 307, he was proclaimed august, controlling Italy and Africa with the help of Maximian. In 308, he lost Africa with the revolt of Alexander. At the conference of Carnuntum, he was declared a public enemy, but managed to stay in Italy until 312, the year of his defeat at Ponte Milvius, at the gates of Rome, where he died by drowning in the Tiber..
