SISCIAN ISSUES OF CONSERVATOR AVGG ANTONINIANI


FOR DIOCLETIAN AND MAXIMIAN

The comprehensive list of the issues of antoniniani CONSERVATOR AVGG for Emperors
Diocletian and Maximian in Siscia mint is presented. Many rare and unpublished varieties
are illustrated. Analysis of mint production for this issue indicates well organized activity
of all workshops.

Introduction
In the continuation of our interest in the tetrarchic issues of antoniniani from Siscia
mint1,2 we noticed that although the commonest reverse type in Siscia, antoniniani with
the obverse CONSERVATOR AVGG for Diocletian and Maximian are not presented in
numismatic literature in sufficient detail. The specialized numismatic literature of the
period of the tetrarchy, RIC3, Šipuš4 and Gricourt5 inadequately cover this material, and
recent attempt to organize material and variants is also rather short.6 The most detailed
corpus is published by Voetter7 almost one hundred years ago. Voetter had produced a
remarkable reference, which is based on a study of the holdings of the Kunsthistorische
Museum in Vienna, as well as important private collections. However, this reference
lacks illustrations (which is a standard in modern numismatics) and many new variants
discovered since which are presented in this paper.
All specimens with photos available to authors (737 in total) are analyzed and
numismatic material systematically organized. Some photos of coins which we have
on files were not taken into account due to the poor state of preservation and inability
to fully determine all legends. This is particularly important for determination of the
position of dots (•) in exergual mintmarks. Several coins, although partially hidden by

other coins (which were sold on auctions in group lots) are still illustrated, but only
these for which legends could be determined without any doubts. Coinage covered in
this article (192 variants) are given only briefly in RIC V/II in thirteen entries (7 for
Diocletian, RIC 259-265 and 6 for Maximian RIC 575-582). Due to the volume of exa-
mined material, only specimens known to authors in one or two pieces are illustrated,
whereas photos of more common pieces are not given in tables. In the process of study,
new variants not listed by Voetter were found, and also some of the variants listed by
Voetter could not be confirmed due to lack of photograps. It may be that some of these
unconfirmed coins are actually errors in his publication, but these Voetter’s entries are
still kept in the listing.
Interesting detail on these coins is the incorporation of words IOVI and HERCVLI
into the mintmarks, nicknames of Diocletian (Emperor Iovius) and Maximian (Emperor
Herculius). These words are split into I/O/BI and HP/KOY/LI and added to officinae
marks, and in such way creating codewords. Famous Vienesse numismatics Joseph van
Kolb, was the first to notice this secret meaning in 1872.8,9,10 The introduction of these
codewords, coupled with dots enormously enlarges the number of possible mintmark
variants.
Gricourt has attributed all CONSERVATOR AVGG coins to S-IIe emission, which is
dated in January-February 287 period. This issue is further divideded into three groups,
and Siscia mint struck them in three officinae (workshop letters A, B or G). Group 1 has
the exergual mark value followed by usual workshop letters (XXIA-B-G), Group 2 has
workshop letters separated by points (XXI•A-B-G•) and Group 3 has workshop letters
juxtaposed with the letters I or HP, O or KOY, BI or LI, in turn separated or not by po-
ints (XXIA•I•, XXIAHP, XXIA•HP•, XXIB•O•, XXIBKOY, XXIB•KOY•, XXI•BI•,
XXIG•LI•). Date of the burial of the Venera hoard in 287 and small number of coins of
this type (only 9) affects this classification, as suggested by Estiot, who recognizes at
least two phases. The early phase is with XXIA-G mintmarks.11 Besides regular coins,
there are some interesting irregular pieces, hybrids and die-engravers errors12,13,14 which
are characteristic for the earlier phase of the emission.
When material is divided into Gricourt’s extended number of groups and given in
tabulated form (Tables 1 and 2) some information on mint production and practices
could be obtained. Firstly, there is an even output among three workshops and number
of coins for Maximian (388 pieces) is larger than for Diocletian (349).

Figure 1 depicts distribution of material according to the groups. Early part of emi-
ssion represents groups G1+G2, whereas the following phase is divided into groups
G3+G4 and G5+G6. It could be seen that smaller volume of coins was produced in the
early phase (9.0%), whereas IOBI/HRKOLI series bearing workshop marks in the field
(groups G5+G6) are the largest (56%). There is no significant difference in numbers
for two emperors, with the exception of groups G1+G2 where coins of Diocletian are
more abundant, which is probably associated with the initial larger mint production for
the senior emperor.

Diocletian Maximian

Figure 1.

The largest number of coins has emperors depicted with bust right, radiate and
cuirassed (bust type B1), whereas the most common obverse inscriptions are those
with the longest legends IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG and IMP C C VAL
MAXIMIANVS P F AVG. Bust types with naked portraits (bust types A) are produced
only for Maximian, and the busts facing to the left are much less common or exceptions
for both emperors. The variety of combinations of obverse inscription / bust types is
larger for Maximian, and his coinage includes many hybrids and mint errors, whereas
only one hybrid specimen (no. 64) was found for Diocletian.
