When the Roman Emperor Galerius ascended the throne upon the abdication of Diocletian and Maximianus, he appointed Maximinus Daia as his Caesar in the East to replace him. He remained Caesar until 308, when Galerius thought it prudent to promote him to the rank of Augustus. In 311, Galerius died after a terrible illness and Maximinus became Emperor Maximinus II, Augustus in the East. He immediately moved his court to the city of Nicomedia in Asia Minor and governed from there. In 312, Constantine the Great, Emperor of the West, made an alliance with Licinius and finally defeated Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge. A short while later, Maximinus decided to invade territory belonging to Licinius. He captured several cities before Licinius was able to bring his armies from Milan to face him. Maximinus was defeated in the battle fought in Thrace on April 30, 313 and only escaped because he disguised himself as a slave. He died a few months later at Tarsus, leaving Constantine in control of the West and Licinius in the East.

The splendor of the precious metals is allowed to shine in this pendant. The natural hues of the bronze and gold complement each other. In this pendant, the present and the past combine. The classical reserved form of the modern pendant enhances the timeless beauty and majesty of the ancient coin. To wear this pendant is to reconnect with the past while continuing to look stylish in the present.
