Commentary


Rubans convergents : rubans descendant verticalement le long de la nuque (type 3). Cuirasse cloutée. Épaulière cloutée. Les ptéryges sont larges. Un changement radical intervient dans la représentation du Génie au revers. Il est maintenant normalement revêtu de l’himation au lieu du manteau tombant sur l’épaule (paludamentum). Une autre innovation est l’apparition des lettres S|C dans le champ. Nous nous sommes interrogés sur la présence et la signification de ces lettres S C. Il pourrait tout simplement signifier “Senatus Consulto” (avec l’autorisation du Sénat) ? Nous n’avons relevé aucune liaison de coin pertinente.
Converging ribbons: ribbons descending vertically along the nape of the neck (type 3). Studded cuirass. Studded shoulder guard. The pteryges are wide. A radical change occurs in the representation of the Genius on the reverse. He is now normally dressed in the himation instead of the mantle falling over the shoulder (paludamentum). Another innovation is the appearance of the letters S|C in the field. We wondered about the presence and meaning of these letters S C. Could it simply mean “Senatus Consulto” (with the authorization of the Senate)? We did not note any relevant corner links

Historical background


MAXIMIANUS HERCULIUS

(10/12/285-02/310)

Augustus II

Maximian was born in Sirmium around 250. He had "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 bears little resemblance to the portraits of argentei, which are stereotyped and not necessarily recognizable. Chosen by Diocletian to assist him, he was first Caesar, then august from April 286. It was the Dyarchy. 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 on November 11, 308. One last time, he resumes the purple at the beginning of 310 in Marseilles before committing suicide or being assassinated.
