Note that the head of Maximian is here veiled. This veiled bust is typically seen on posthumously issued coins. In the present case, emperor Constantine minted this coin shortly after the death of Maximian. Maximian, not to be confused with 2nd century emperor Marcus Valerius Maximianus, was born in about 250 A.D. His reign is noteworthy for the fact that he ruled during three different intervals. From 286 to 305 A.D., under Diocletian, he was Caesar and then Augustus in the east. From 306 to 308 A.D. he was self-proclaimed Augustus. And in 310 A.D. again declared himself Augustus. The first two of these three reigns ended in his forced abdication. The third ended with his suicide in 310 A.D., at the command of Constantine the Great.
