Magnus Maximus, AE4 of Arles.

Magnus Maximus (c.#8201;335—August 28, 388) was Western Roman Emperor from 383 to 388.

In 383, as commander of Britain, he usurped the throne against emperor Gratian, and by negotiation with emperor Theodosius I, he was made emperor in Britannia and Gaul the next year while Gratian's brother Valentinian II retained Italy, Pannonia, Hispania, and Africa. In 387, Maximus' ambitions led him to invade Italy, resulting in his defeat by Theodosius I at the Battle of the Save in 388. In the view of some historians, his death marked the end of direct imperial presence in Northern Gaul and Britain.

AD 383-388.
Diameter: 15mm.
Mass: 1,12 gram
Obv: Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right

Rev: Campgate, four layers, two very tall turrets, star above, no doors.

Very nice find, you might be able to clean it up some by soaking in in olive oil or distilled water.

Very nice indeed! Maximus is not especially tough compared to his contemporaries (see: Flavius Victor) but I've never seen this type posted or for sale before. Nice find!
