This Roman AE of Maximinus II, issued between AD 310-313 as a BI Nummus, offers a fascinating glimpse into the turbulent era of the Tetrarchy. Certified by NGC as Fine (F), this ancient bronze coin dates back to a period when the Roman Empire was undergoing significant political upheaval. The Tetrarchy, conceived by Emperor Diocletian, aimed to ensure a smooth transfer of power, but instead, it led to a series of civil wars. Maximinus II, a nephew of Galerius, ascended to the position of Caesar in 305 and later became Augustus in 311. His reign was marked by his staunch paganism and his role in one of the last systematic persecutions of Christians. Tragically, Maximinus II's life ended in defeat and suicide following his loss to Licinius I during the civil conflicts that plagued the Tetrarchy.
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Maximinus II, capturing the stern visage of a ruler caught in the throes of imperial power struggles. The reverse of the coin varies, often depicting mythological and military themes, reflecting the cultural and political climate of the time. The coin weighs between 2 to 8 grams and measures approximately 18.3 to 27.5 mm in diameter.
This coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its genuineness and historical significance. It is a genuine artifact from the Dominate period of Roman history, a term referring to the era from the Diocletian reforms in 284 through the fall of the Western Empire in 476. The term 'Dominate' derives from the authoritative form of address used by emperors during this time. This remarkable coin is not only a collector's item but also a tangible link to a pivotal era in the history of the Roman Empire.
