In Roman Imperial Coins, volume VIII, pp. 136-7, J.P.C. Kent attributes this type to the revolt of Poemenius in Trier against the regime of Magnentius and Decentius (July - Aug 353). The type was struck in bronze, without any silver, at a standard used by Magnentius and Decentius, but not used by Constantius. In Roman Coins and Their Values V, p. 176, David Sear note that it could have been struck after Poemenius returned the city to Constantius II and Decentius' suicide on 18 Aug 353.

|Magnus| |Maximus|, |Magnus| |Maximus,| |July| |383| |-| |28| |July| |388| |A.D.||siliqua|
After the Roman troops in Britain, proclaimed general Magnus Maximus emperor, he invaded Gaul and drove Gratian before him until the latter was overrun and assassinated. After negotiations, Theodosius I recognized Magnus Maximus and his son, Flavius Victor, as emperors in Britannia and Gaul. Gratian's brother Valentinian II retained Italy, Pannonia, Hispania, and Africa. In 386 A.D., driven by reckless greed, Magnus Maximus invaded Italy, driving out Valentinian II, who fled to Theodosius I. Commanding an army of Goths, Huns and Alans, Theodosius marched west and defeated Magnus Maximus at the Battle of the Save. On 28 August 388, Magnus Maximus surrendered at Aquileia and was executed.

"I am the alpha and the omega" is an appellation of Jesus in the Book of Revelation (verses 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13). Alpha (A) and omega (Ω) are respectively the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. This would be similar to referring to someone in English as the "A and Z." Thus, twice when the title appears it is further clarified with the additional title "the beginning and the end" (Revelation 21:6, 22:13). The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet were used because the Book of Revelation was originally written in Greek.

Theodora, Augusta, 2nd Wife of Constantius I, Grandmother of Caesars and Emperors

|Theodora|, |Theodora,| |Augusta,| |2nd| |Wife| |of| |Constantius| |I,| |Grandmother| |of| |Caesars| |and| |Emperors||reduced| |centenionalis|
Theodora is often referred to as a stepdaughter of Emperor Maximian by ancient sources, leading to claims by historians Otto Seeck and Ernest Stein that she was born from an earlier marriage between Eutropia, wife of Maximian, and Afranius Hannibalianus. This man was consul in 292 and praetorian prefect under Diocletian. Timothy Barnes challenges this view stating that all "stepdaughter sources" derive their information from the partially unreliable work Kaisergeschichte (written in the 4th century), while more reliable sources refer Theodora as Maximian's natural daughter. He concludes that she was born no later than c. 275 to an unnamed earlier wife of Maximian, possibly one of Hannibalianus' daughters.

|Theodora|, |Theodora,| |Augusta,| |Wife| |of| |Constantius| |I,| |Grandmother| |of| |Caesars| |and| |Emperors||reduced| |centenionalis|
Pietas in traditional Latin usage expressed a complex, highly valued Roman virtue; a man or woman with pietas respected his or her responsibilities to the gods, family, other people and entities (such as the state), and understood his or her place in society with respect to others.

|Tetricus| |II|, |Romano-Gallic| |Empire,| |Tetricus| |II,| |Spring| |274| |A.D.||antoninianus|
Spes was the Roman personification of Hope. In art Spes is normally depicted carrying flowers or a cornucopia, but on coins she is almost invariably depicted holding a flower in her extended right hand, and raising a fold of her dress with her left hand. She was also named "ultima dea" - for Hope is the last resort of men.
