CAESAR GALERIVS VALERIVS MAXIMINVS AVGVSTVS

II. Emperor Maximinus Daia ruled the eastern half of the Roman Empire from 310 to 313. Its coinage differs in many ways from the coinage of previous Roman emperors. Daia's coins depict the emperor's face in a large, characteristic style. The emperor's face is framed by long, wavy hair and a beard. The eyes are large and expressive, the mouth is narrow and stern. The emperor's face is often compared to a deity such as Jupiter or Heracles. Daia's coins have many different labels. The most common label is the emperor's full name and rank: "Caesar Galerius Valerius Maximinus Augustus". The labels also include expressions of deification of the emperor, such as "Divo Maximino" (To the glorified Maximinus) and "Divus Valerius" (To the glorified Valerius). Daia's coins contain many different motifs. Among the most common motifs are the victories, military virtues and deification of the emperor. Victories are often represented by scenes depicting the emperor on horseback defeating his opponents. Military virtues are often depicted in scenes depicting the emperor in battle gear. Deification is often represented by scenes depicting the emperor with gods or divine symbols. Daia's coins include the following types of money: Aureus: the gold coin that was the most valuable Roman coin. Denarius: the silver coin that was the basic unit of the Roman monetary system. Sestertius: the bronze coin, which was a smaller unit of the Roman monetary system. Dupondius: the bronze coin of the value of two sestertius. As: the bronze coin of the value of four sestertius. The minting of Daia meant the minting of a significant amount of coins. This amount was probably used to finance the emperor's military forces.
