Commentary


Sans argenture. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. La trabea (robe consulaire) est richement ornementée formée de la toga picta et de la toga palmata. Intéressant cas de regravure de la légende au droit où sous les lettres MAXIM de MAXIMIANVS, nous distinguons clairement les lettres DIOCLET ce qui n’avait pas été signalé dans l’ouvrage de Pierre Bastien en 1972. Cet exemplaire est le second signalé après celui de ROME XX (brm_174138) et vient compléter notre vision sur les regravures et modifications de titulatures de droit sous la Dyarchie, en particulier pour les cinquième et septième émissions. Prendra le numéro 416j techn. dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
Without silver plating. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. The trabea (consular robe) is richly ornamented, consisting of the toga picta and the toga palmata. Interesting case of re-engraving of the legend on the obverse where under the letters MAXIM of MAXIMIANVS, we clearly distinguish the letters DIOCLET, which had not been reported in Pierre Bastien's work in 1972. This example is the second reported after that of ROME XX (brm_174138) and completes our vision of the re-engravings and modifications of title de droit under the Diarchy, in particular for the fifth and seventh issues. Will take the number 416j techn. in Supplement III of Bastien

Historical background


MAXIMIANUS HERCULIUS

(10/12/285-02/310)

Auguste I

Maximian was born in Sirmium around 250. He has "a low forehead, a wrinkled face, a trumpet nose, a thick chin and neck, a shaggy beard" according to "The Roman Emperors", op. cit., p. 119. This description does not look so much like the portraits of the argentei, which are stereotyped and not necessarily recognizable. He is chosen by Diocletian to assist him. He was first Caesar, then Augustus from April 286, and it was the foundation of the Diarchy. Maximien settles in Trèves and must fight against the barbarian invasions and the usurpation of Carausius in Brittany. In 293, when the Tetrarchy was created, he was assisted by Constantius Chlorus. Diocletian forces Maximian to abdicate on May 1, 305. He resents retirement and goes to support his son Maxentius when he seizes Rome on October 28, 306. He resumes service as august in 307 and helps Constantine to whom he gives his daughter Fausta in marriage. Maximian is forced to abdicate at the conference of Carnuntum, November 11, 308. One last time, he resumes the purple at the beginning of 310 in Marseilles before committing suicide or being assassinated.
