The reverse of this coin-- FORTVNAE REDVCI, celebrates the happy return of the Emperor(s). That is why there are references to modes of travel, like the wheel Fortuna is sitting on and the rudder attached to a globe.

This coin specifically references the return of Galerius after he defeated the Sasanian ruler Shah Narseh in Armenia in A.D. 298. Galerius then went all the way into Persia and captured the capital of Ctesiphon. In the treaty the following year, Narseh restored the Kingdom of Armenia and there was peace between the two nations for 40 years.

RIC also doesn't have this obverse legend listed; but it should come after RIC VI Trier 388

Cool coin. I like it when you can read the legend and visualize the reverse. Nice to know a little history as well.

Excellent! I love a coin that tells a story - thank you, Victor!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
