See the president&#039;s address of J.P.C. Kent in <i>Numismatic Chronicle</i> 1987. Apparently, an engraver at Cyzicus copied the design from Trier and even included the Trier mintmark (PTR), then had to squeeze in the Cyzicus mintmark (KS) between the figures on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1602461[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Diocletian</p><p>A.D. 305- 307</p><p>Ӕ Follis&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 27mm&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 7.6g</p><p>D N DIOCLETIANO BEATISSIMO SEN AVG; Laureate and mantled bust r., holding olive-branch and mappa.</p><p>PROVIDENTIA DEORVM QVIES AVGG; Providentia standing r., extending hand to Quies standing l., holding branch and leaning on scepter, KS between; S-F across fields.</p><p>In ex.
