RIC -; Depeyrot 5B/5 (these dies); Calicó 4682 (this obverse die). 6.02g, 20mm, 7h. Near Mint State. Insignificant trace of double striking on obverse; exceptionally bold reverse. Ex Jean P. Lambros Collection, J. Hirsch XXIX, 9 November 1910, lot 1347. Given the title ‘Herculius’ by Diocletian, Maximianus’ role was always that of the military might to Diocletian’s stategic planning. Whilst the title reflected the adoption of Hercules as the heavenly father of Maximianus and thus, his familial ties to divinity, it was also representative of his role as junior emperor. Taking the cognomen of ‘Jovius’, Diocletian assumed familial ties to the more authoritative deity of Jupiter, as the father of Hercules, and so indicated his superiority over Maximianus as the director of imperial policy. The reverse depiction of Hercules on this gold aureus displays this imperial theology with the inscription HERCVLI VICTORI (“Hercules the Victor”). Whilst this issue suggests military success, Maximianus was beginning to falter in his role as a military instrument of the empire. His failed invasion of Britain in 289, against the ever-increasing threat of Carausius, led Diocletian to conclude that their divinely sanctioned diarchy was insufficient to manage the Empire. Constantius was appointed to the office of Caesar in the West and Galerius was granted the same position in the East, establishing a Tetrarchy that would relieve Maximianus of his military responsibilities. This coin was most probably produced in response to the increase in bureaucracy that the appointment of two new Caesars in 293 will have occasioned, as well as the ever present needs of the army protecting the eastern frontier of the Empire.

Van Helsing was given his gas-powered automatic crossbow by its inventor Friar Carl (David Wenham), and used it in his battle with the brides of Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), killing the vampire Marishka (Josie Maran) after dipping its arrows in holy water. The intricately made weapon was produced by Applied Effects and features a machined-metal body with fold-out plastic bow arms, wooden grips and resin ram’s head detailing. Additional resin detailing is applied to the butt stock’s faux-gas tank and along the bow arms, with metal crosses in the pistol grip. The crossbow’s drum magazine is made of metal and plastic, with individually finished and fixed arrows within. The bow strings are bound together and finished to look like taut, wound leather. Fully functional, the chain-driven action is powered by a 12-volt battery located in the butt stock, which powers the weapon through a connector between the stock and the pistol grip. Pulling the trigger drives a chain which simulates the firing of the bow string, with the spring-loaded magazine rotating with each movement of the action. The weapon disassembles into three components with folding bow arms and sights. The weapon displays only minor scratches to the metal body through use on the production and is supplied in its own custom-made transit case. .
