RIC VI, SISCIA [after 59], MAXIMIAN HERCULIUS, UNLISTED FOR RULER

OBVERSE	MAXIMIA-NVSAVG [MAXIMIANVS NOB C]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VIRTVS-MILITVM [VIRTVS MILITVM]; the four princes sacrificing over tripod before archway in seven-turreted enclosure. *SIS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this type only for Diocletian (p. 461). General note from p. 442-3: "Once again Constantius is absent from the Sisak hoard (though known elswhere) [...]. The basic type is unchanged - the four princes at sacrifice, as before; Virtus Militum and Victoria Augg, variously broken [...]. The issue, even when allowance is made for the fact that it is the latest in the Sisak hoard (23 coins), seems on other grounds to have been of limited size. Date, c. 295". Coin should be listed after SISCIA 59. See also: SISCIA [after 59], CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED FOR RULER SISCIA [after 59], GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, UNLISTED FOR RULER
