  • Descrição: Five surviving telrarchic aurei and one lost specimen include the legend IAN in the exergue on the reverse where one would normally expect to find the mintmark following the emperor Diocletian's reform of the mint system in 293. This legend occurs in association with three different reverse types. One type depicts the legend IOVI FVLGERATORI (To Jupiter the Lightning-Hurler'), about a representation of a standing Jupiter raising a lightning bolt above his head as if about to hurl it down at a serpent-footed giant sprawling before him. Three specimens pair this reverse type with an obverse in the name of Maximianus as Augustus (286-305). A second type depicts the legend VIRTVS AVGG ('The Valour of the Augusti'), about a representation of Hercules holding Antaeus off the ground by the waist as he attempts to crush him to death. Two specimens pair this reverse type with an obverse in the name of Diocletianus as Augustus (284-305). Finally, a third type depicts the legend HERCVL1 VICTORI ('To Hercules the Victor'), about a representation of Hercules seated on a lion-skin covered chair with his club before him and a bow and quiver to his side. A single specimen pairs this with an obverse in the name of Diocletianus.
