REV: CONSERVATOR AVG, Emperor, holding sceptre, and Hercules,
leaning on club, standing face to face, sacrificing at altar, XXIBKOY in exergue
This mintmark is unlisted in RIC. RIC V Siscia, 580, rated scarce
From Doug Smith's website:
Issued before the currency reform of c.294 AD, this Siscia mint antoninianus of Maximianus I bears, in exergue, the XXI followed by an even stranger code sequence.
The mint was divided into only three workshops using Greek numerals A, B and (here) G. To the right of G is LI. Conveniently, dots separate the sections of the mark.
To make sense of this marking, one must find an example from workshops A and B. These coins read XXIAHP and XXIBKOY.
Combining the fragments in officina order gives HPKOYLI or the Greek letter spelling of the Roman name Hercules. This is our code word.
A matching series by Diocletian used I+O+BI or the Greek letter spelling of Jupiter (IOVI not Zeus!).

In 333 B.C., after Alexander took Perga peacefully, Aspendos sent envoys to offer surrender if he would not take the taxes and horses formerly paid as tribute to the Persian king.
Agreeing, Alexander went on to Side, leaving a garrison behind. When he learned they had failed to ratify the agreement their own evnvoys had proposed, Alexander marched to the city.
The Aspendians retreated to their acropolis and again sent envoys to sue for peace. This time, however, they had to agree to harsh terms -
they would host a Macedonian garrison and pay 100 gold talents and 4.000 horses annually.
