Nothing of Carthage? How about another coin of Maximianus.
Very interesting! A first impression was that it is an imitative coin. The legends are not the standard type one encounters normally, but it...
For me, it is time management, or lack thereof. I've tried to split my time between the two forums, but with other things going on in my life it...

This coin is nowhere near that beautiful Aes Grave, an absolutely behemoth coin! Ptolemy IV Philopator, 222-205 BC AE Drachm Alexandria Mint...
