A.D. 305 to A.D. 306 Reference:– RIC VI Rome 194b (Rated Scarce by RIC) The engraver has placed the acroteria part way up the roofbecause of the placement of the reverse legend. Temples anyone?

Gorgeous temple example, Martin ... is Probus hidden on the coin somewhere? ... just jokes (congrats on a total winner) Here are a couple of temple examples of mine ... Volusian Maxentius

That Maximianus Herculius Follis is pretty sweet! Here is my only temple that I currently have: Roman Imperial: Probus (276-282 CE) AR Antoninianus, Rome (RIC-187) Obv: PROBVS P F AVG; Radiate bust left in imperial mantle, holding eagle-tipped scepter Rev: ROMAE AETER; Roma seated in hexastyle temple, holding Victory & scepter; RVΔ in exergue
Of course, that was a lapse of attention or carefulness. I typed hastily . So a campgate and not a temple.
