Owner Comments:
Flavia Maximiana Theodora was the step-daughter of Maximian and married to Constantius I sometime between 289 and 293, which involved the repudiation of Helena. Theodora bore Constantius six children, none of whom were direct imperial candidates. This mysterious commemorative issue belongs to the period of rehabilitation after the conversion and death of Constantine in 337 and the subsequent massacre of all rivals except the dead emperor's sons and Julian. Her title of Augusta was unattested during her lifetime.
