Diocletian RIC VI, Siscia 36
Diocletian 284 - 305
AR - Argenteus, 2.84g, 19mm
       Siscia ca. 294/5
obv. DIOCLETI - ANVS AVG
        laureate head r.
rev.  VICTORIA - SARMAT
        The 4 emperors Diocletian, Constantius, Maximianus and Galerius
        sacrificing over tripod before archway in six-turreted enclosure
RIC VI, Siscia 36; cf. C.488
R5 (before finding of the Sisak hoard!); EF uncirculated, from Sisak hoard(1953)
Referred clearly to Galerius' Danubian activities 293/6, struck for use by
military recipients above all (RIC)
added to www.wildwinds.com

From RIC: The reverse type exemplifies the times of Diocletian with symbolic accuracy, for the Empire was in many parts reduced to walled cities and fortresses, and it was ruled by 4 men who recognized that in those desperate times their strength was derived from their conformity!
