Maximianus CONSERVATOR AVGG from Siscia with heroic nude bust

[Victor]

This coin has an unusual bust type-- heroic nude, with drapery on either shoulder. The bust type is not in RIC, though this coin is RIC Vii Siscia 580, because that edition of RIC folds all bust types into the same number, only a different obverse legend gets a new RIC number.

Maximianus is giving off a strong Hercules vibe.
