Commentary
Poids excessivement léger. Rubans de type 3. Maximien à Trèves se voit doter du titre d’Optimus. La réhabilitation du beau-père de Constantin Ier est passée là, moins de dix ans après son exécution (ou suicide) de son gendre (le même Constantin).
Excessively light weight. Type 3 ribbons. Maximian in Trier is given the title of Optimus. The rehabilitation of Constantine I's father-in-law happened there, less than ten years after his execution (or suicide) of his son-in-law (the same Constantine)
