This rare coin forms part of a series in which the attributes of the imperial comites - Jupiter (associated with Diocletian) and Hercules (with Maximian) - the thunderbolt and the club, appear on the reverse of the coins of the two Augusti and their Caesares. In the case of Galerius, Maximian’s Caesar, the club is therefore shown on our fine specimen.
