Hey ... I saw what you did there



Ummm, go buy yourself a Mag-Max, my coin-friend ...

=> it's Victoria Day long weekend!!

 

Nice coin my Canadian amigo.
This may take awhile for me to post all my namesakes' coins, give me a few

 

Cheers, M&M ... take your time

=> I thought of you when I squeezed the trigger!!

 

This coin was struck in the 18 month period of time that Magnus Maximus occupied Milan and the entire Western Roman Empire.

Magnus Maximus
AR Siliqua
387-388 CE
1.84 Grams
Mediolanum mint
Rare



Certainly one of the best portraits of Magnus Maximus I've ever seen.

D N MAG MAX-IMVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS ROMANORVM, Roma enthroned facing, head left, holding globe & spear.

TRPS = Trier

RIC84b, RSC20a




Magnus Maximus AR Siliqua
Trier mint
Struck early in Maximus's reign, most likely 384.
2.05 Grams

And an obverse die match.


Magnus Maximus AR Siliqua
Obverse die match with above coin.
Struck at Trier probably before the above coin.

Still have a few more coins but this will due for now.

 

don't have MM or a siliqua...they are both VERY HIGH on my list. i'd love to cross two thing of the list with the same coin...one like your would be perfect stevex! sweet flow lines also!

 

I have one but it's not nearly as showy as yours

MAGNUS MAXIMUS
AE2
OBVERSE: D N MAG MAXI-MVS PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right
REVERSE: REPARATIO-REIPVB, Emperor standing facing, head left, holding Victory on globe in left hand and raising kneeling woman, turreted headdress. P or D in right field. LVGP in ex.
Struck at Lugdunum 383-88 AD
4.6g, 23mm
RIC 32

 

Thanks for posting your examples, fellas

 

That's an excellent Mag Max siliqua, Steve... quite jealous!

My little campgate... still one of my favorite coins.

I even love this junky old AE2... it's got a bit of the old black magic to it .

 

Terrific posts everyone!!

Huge congrats on the super wins @stevex6!!

 

Nice addition and great coins all

 

Happy Victoria Day, @stevex6! Too bad about that last Sens game. Surely everyone on here, whether Canadian or American, should be cheering for the Senators?!? Their logo even looks like a coin!



At least you have your sweet CNG wins as a balm for the sting.

Mag Max and son:

 

Thanks, Sev-Alex (Happy Victoria Day)

Yah, that was ugly ... 7-0 ... they rag-dolled the poor Senators!

Oh well, now they're on the ropes (let's see what they're made of)

=> ya gotta love playoffs, eh?
