-> Coins, symbols of power - struck in metal. From Emperors to Kings, rulers struck their image and ideals into coins, turning currency into one of history’s most enduring propaganda tools. These small objects passed daily through the hands of ordinary people, spreading messages of authority with every exchange.

-> 硬币，权力的象征——以金属铸成。自皇帝到诸王，统治者将自己的形象与理想铸入硬币，使货币成为历史上最持久的宣传工具之一。这些小物件日日穿梭于普通人手中，在每一次交易中传递权威的信息。

-> The story of Galeria Valeria, daughter of Emperor Diocletian is a tragic and poignant one. Her life and death were totally dictated by the politics of the period.

-> 加列里娅·瓦莱里娅，戴克里先之女的故事，悲剧而动人。她的生死完全受当时政治所左右。

In order to cement his vision of a Tetrarchy, Diocletian arranged a marriage between his daughter and Galerius, one of the new Caesars in Diocletian's Tetrarchy. As a political pawn she had no choice in the matter, and it appears this was not a very happy marriage. Valeria was sympathetic towards the Christians, while Galerius, a fierce advocate of the old ways and gods vehemently persecuted them.

为巩固自己的四帝共治愿景，戴克里先安排他的女儿与四帝之一的加莱里乌斯结婚。作为政治棋子，她无法选择，似乎并非一桩幸福婚姻。瓦莱里娅对基督徒抱有同情，而加莱里乌斯则坚决支持旧教，强烈迫害他们。

In an attempt to promote the image of imperial harmony, coins were struck in Valeria's name. These issues served as a reminder of Galerius’ bond to his father-in-law Diocletian.

为宣传皇权和谐的形象，铸有瓦莱里娅之名的硬币被铸造。这些铸币提醒着加莱里乌斯与其岳父戴克里先之间的关系。

After Galerius died in 311 AD the Eastern Empire was divided between Maximinus Daia and Licinius. Valeria and her mother fled from Licinius and sought refuge with Maximinus Daia.

公元311年，随着加莱里乌斯去世，东罗马被分为迈西米努斯·达伊（Maximinus Daia）与利基尼乌斯。瓦莱里娅及其母亲逃离利基尼乌斯，寻求在迈西米努斯·达伊处庇护。

After the death of Maximinus, Licinius ordered the death of Valeria and her mother. After a year of hiding they were recognized by residents in Thessaloniki. In 315 AD both women were captured and beheaded in the central square of the city, afterwards their bodies were thrown into the sea.

在迈西米努斯去世后，利基尼乌斯下令处死瓦莱里娅及其母亲。隐匿一年后，他们被塞萨洛尼基的居民认出。公元315年，两名妇女在城中心广场被捕，并被斩首，随即尸体被投入大海。

-> VENERI VICTRICI: Latin for 'To Venus the Victorious'.
