Descrição: The pre-reform CONCORDIA MILITVMantoninianiof Maximianus are often miscatalogued for print and online sales. This is due in part to severalerratainRIC(Vol. 5, part 2). Two hundred and seventyantoninianiwere studied in order to establish an accurate list of mint marks, obverse legends, and reverse legend divisions. As theantoninianiwere studied, there emerged a pattern in the reverse legend division and mint marks pointing to the order of mint output. This pattern implies that the opening of the mint of Heraclea is likely to have taken place in spring AD 293 or thereabouts. Also, it is ventured that the CONCORDIA MILITVMantoninianusmight have been minted at Siscia, a city not mentioned inRIC. It is further suggested that the CONCORDIA MILITVM coinage might have served as a testing ground for the impending coinage reform of Diocletian. The type continued to be minted virtually unchanged after the reform and could have provided a model for the standardization of the coinage.
