AETERNAE MEMORIAE - A round-formed temple, one of the doors of which is half-opened. On the top of its dome stands an eagle, with expanded wings; on the exergue, POST. - This legend and type appear on the reverse of a unique gold medallion, which Maxentius, A.D. 309, caused to be struck to the everlasting remembrance of his son Romulus Caesar, whose youthful bust, clothed in the toga, and with bare head, appears on the other side, with the legend DIVO ROMVLO NVBIS CONS. - The above cut is accurately copied from the engraving in T. ii. p. 202, of the Medailles Romaines of Mionnet, by whom this fine medallic relic of the lower empire (15 lignes, French measure, in diameter), is valued at 1200 fr. - See some remarks on the words NVBIS CONS in their place.
A legend in the same dedicatory form appears on two second brass coins of Galerius Maximianus, one with the circular temple and eagle on its summit, and the other with a square altar lighted, and a branch placed in the middle, on which stands an eagle, with a crown in its beak.
