    ok so i need a little help with this one, its my first Galerius and my first large follis, its 26mm and 8.7 grams,

    this is the closest match i found:

    Galerius Maximian, AE Follis, Siscia, 294 AD. GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C, laureate head right / GENIO POP-VLI ROMANI, Genius standing left, eagle at feet, modius on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera and cornucopiae. S-B across fields, no mintmark. RIC VI Siscia 81b.

    only i dont see the "eagle at feet" (but i did not see it on the example shown on wildwinds either) and mine is "S - gamma across field"...
    my question is - is this a RIC VI Siscia 81b only maybe a different variant?
    thanks all..

    I'm thinking Trier RIC VI 665b, but let me check one more place.
