D N MAXIMIANO P F S AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right / ROMAE AETER, Roma seated facing, holding Victory in right hand and sceptre in left, within hexastyle temple of Roma; PLN in exergue. 6.91g, 26mm, 6h.

Ex CNG Triton XXVII, 10th January 2024, Lot 872.
Ex CNG 88, 14th September 2011, Lot 1411.

CT Rarity: RR (6 known examples).

I was pleased to acquire this coin as it joins my Constantine bust issue with the same reverse (5.03.015). It is a rare London mint issue, struck by Constantine as Caesar in order to solidify and celebrate the alliance between Constantine & Maximian, whilst also showing support for Maxentius who was occupying Rome at the time. The legend 'Romae Aeter' translated means 'To eternal Rome'. These "Italianate' series of coins, as they have become known, are rare due to the fact they were only issued during a period of roughly one month in AD 307.

The issues with the bust of Maximian are the far rarer of the two coins; with there being just 6 known examples versus 21 for Constantine (although many of these are not available to trade). This coin will be a plate coin in the forthcoming RML (Elks, RML 212).
