The depiction of Pax associated with the helmeted emperor and turned right does not appear to have been seen in sales in recent years, and only one other example, held at the BnF, has been found.\n\nThe type on our obverse on antoniniani (legend and iconography) is most often associated with four reverses depicting Jupiter (RIC V, 28); Salus (RIC V, 89), Fides (RIC V, 118) and Minerva (RIC V, 63). The latter type is the only one featuring the legend PAX AVGG, like our reverse. However, instead of Pax holding a scepter and a globe surmounted by a Victory, this type depicts Minerva wearing a helmet, holding a branch and a spear, and leaning on a shield. It is the most common combination and the one most often found on sale with Diocletian wearing a helmet and turned right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eIMP DIOCLETIANVS AVG\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003ePAX AVGG \/\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e4.22 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57016982733132,"sku":"138833","price":109.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/138833A.jpg?v=1773862214","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/138833-roman-empire-diocletian-antoninianus-291-lugdunum-silver-au-50-53","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
