Roman Empire Emperor Diocletian Follis (284-305 AD)
This ancient bronze coin dates to the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 284 to 305 AD. Classified as an Antoninianus or follis, this specimen showcases the distinct metalwork and currency standards of the late third and early fourth centuries. The coin measures 25 millimeters in diameter and has a physical weight of 9.9 grams. The obverse side of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of Emperor Diocletian wearing a radiate crown. Surrounding this imperial likeness is the Latin inscription IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG, which formally identifies the ruler. While the reverse designs on these issues are known to vary, the obverse remains a powerful testament to the portraiture of the Roman imperial administration during a period of significant systemic reform.
