Me: Hello. My name is Justin, and I'm a coinaholic. Everyone: Hi, Justin.
And IDing a Maximian would be to find the start of his name as well. For him, you'd want to look for the MAX which might be easier to spot due to...
The finding of the start of his name (ΔIoKΛHTIANOC), the ΔΙo (DIO), is a better, more consistent approach to identifying it as Diocletian than...
Interesting theory! The shape does appear to have happened prior to striking, as you would think if made by striking it would emanate equally...

Great added detail, Doug! Thank you! The same appears with Maximian... Early (A K M OVA MAΞIMIANOC CЄB): [IMG] Later (MAΞIMIANOC CЄB): [IMG]
Here's mine that is just that much slightly bigger to make it near-ish the range you mention for the tetartemorion. [IMG] Phokaia, Ionia, Circa...
Also regarding the Greek and abbreviations on Alexandrian coinage, here is a nice previous post from our humble "I'm not an expert" @TIF on what...
You're doing just fine... it takes exposure and practice, and your getting coins is helping you with both. Also, using sites like ACSearch with...

Wonderful new coins! :jawdrop: No, I'm not jealous at all... :shifty::bored::D [IMG] Antoninus Pius, Ruled 138-161 AD AE Drachm, Alexandria,...
These tend to feel sort of regal to me, hope inspiring for the future of the empire, no matter how short lived it actually ended up. Nice pieces...
Very nice Anonymous set, whether intentional or not, Doug! You have a few that I don't have, and I have one missing from yours, the Class H. A1...
I really like your Gallienus!! A sestertius of his is on my wishlist (and/or an Alexandrian drachm)... I can dream, right? :smuggrin:. I didn't...
Very cool! I also wasn't aware of this denomination. Here's my tiny AE Philip III quarter unit... It's kinda fun to hold something so small, and...
Let's keep that youngin' happy and entertained! Here's my Geta, a Secret Saturn gift this last year: [IMG] Geta, Ruled 209-211 AD AR denarius,...
Wonderful new addition! I love seeing your collection of these veiled bust types! As I've mentioned before, it made me go get this one... [IMG]...
Lately I've run out of the 20-coin pages and have been using a blue Whitman plastic box first out of necessity. But the past couple months, I've...
