Maximian, Gold Aureus

Maximian is portrayed profile in portrait style, which depicts someone using their physical likeness. He is shown wearing a classical laurel, a wreath worn on the head symbolizing victory. On the reverso, or back of the coin, we see the pagan narrative of Hercules taming the deer.
