Historical context

Constantius Chlorus, also known as Constantius I, was a member of the Tetrarchy founded by Diocletian. Initially serving as caesar from 293, he ruled as augustus from May 305 until his sudden death at Eboracum in July 306. Constantius campaigned extensively in Gaul, along the Rhine frontier, and against the Picts before his son Constantine was acclaimed emperor by the army.

Issued under the authority of Constantius Chlorus at the mint of Ticinum, this bronze AE1 piece features Maximinus Daia on the obverse with the legend MAXIMINVS NOB CAESAR. The reverse depicts the helmeted god Mars advancing with a transverse spear and a trophy over his shoulder, paired with the legend VIRTVS AVGG ET CAESS NN or VIRTVS AV-GG ET CAESS NN.
