Comment
Struck at the Cyzicus mint between 295 and 299 AD when Galerius was Caesar in the East, under Diocletian monetary authority.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Galerius, who was a powerful Roman emperor during the 4th century AD, on its obverse side. Despite being a relatively small bronze coin, it showcases intricate details and symbolism, such as the emperor's crown and the legend "CONCORDIA MILITVM" (harmony of the soldiers), which highlights the importance of unity and cooperation within the Roman military. Additionally, the coin's reverse side bears the image of a Roman soldier holding a spear and shield, further emphasizing the military theme. Overall, this coin serves as a fascinating example of Roman numismatics and offers a glimpse into the political and social climate of the Roman Empire during the late 3rd to early 4th century AD.
