'Concordia Militum' Coin 1.c
1. Front	2. Back
Bronze Aurelianianus - Æ 17-20 mm - 3,2 gram - Die Axis 12:00. 1. IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (Imperator Caesar Maximianus Pius Felix (Pious and Happy) Augustus). Radiate and draped bust of bearded emperor facing right. 2. CONCORDIA MI-LITVM (Concordia Militum - Harmony/Unity with the Soldiers). Maximianus standing left, cuirassed, caped and radiate, receiving statue of Victoria on globe from Jupiter standing left, nude with cape, holding long scepter with left arm. Victoria statue has its right arm outstretched towards the emperor holding a laurel crown. In between probably a shaky G (for the 3rd officina) or a very lousy S. 2.b (H ?) and two more letters. I saw a reverse translation which made “the emperor and the army think as one” of it, which in fact think nicely covers the idea. Got it from my cousin Wim Roborgh, free lance cameraman, who bought it of an arab boy in Petra (Jordan). All A’s, M’s & N’s seem to consist of vertical stripes. Obv. : Good - Rev. : Good
