<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2827318, member: 76194&quot;]Here is an interesting type of Maximian, co-emperor to his most famous colleague Diocletian, and also the father in law of Constantine the Great.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is from his first reign. The coin saw a bit of circulation,and the surfaces are a little rough from corrosion from burrial, but the radiate crown in combination with&nbsp; the reverse of Hercules grasping a lion is one of his better reverses. Its definitely not as common as his Jupiter and Emperor reverses, and I think it looks better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I figured that if I was going to get a Maximian (this being my second one after giving away my more common&nbsp; Emperor and Jupiter reverse) might as well get something a little different and a little bit less seen. I think Mat might also have one of these, but his Maximian is wearing a helmet instead of the radiate crown (which I think is even more unusual and less common than mine).</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?
