<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4471110, member: 44316&quot;]I have educational web sites on the period of Diocletian (284-305) and later. Several have been announced over the last year, including one on coins of the First Tetrarchy (293-305):</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/</a></p><p>and another on coins of the Second Tetrarchy (305-306):</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Second.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Second.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Second.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Today I am announcing related sites on</p><p>&quot;Coins of the Roman rulers, July 306 to autumn, 324&quot;</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/306to324.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/306to324.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/306to324.html</a></p><p>and</p><p>&quot;Commemorative coins from 306 to 324&quot;</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/commemorative.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/commemorative.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/commemorative.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I stopped at 324 because that is the year in which Constantine defeated Licinius to become sole emperor. The coinage of Constantine is very complicated and not the subject of my page. The subject is really the coinage immediately after the Second Tetrarchy, i.e. after July 306.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a commemorative:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1112469[/ATTACH]</p><p>Struck in memory of Constantius at Aquileia by Maxentius (according to <i>RIC</i> VI)</p><p>25 mm. 7.32 grams.</p><p>DIVO CONSTANTIO AVG</p><p>Veiled head right.</p><p>MEMORIA DIVI CONSTANTI</p><p>Square two-door altar enclosure</p><p>eagle on top with wings half spread and wreath in beak</p><p>&nbsp; AQS</p><p><i>RIC</i> Aquileia --. Similar to 127 but that obverse ends PIO, not AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a regular follis of the period after the Second Tetrarchy:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1112489[/ATTACH]</p><p>Maximinus II as Caesar.</p><p>27 mm.</p><p>Struck c. 308 by Galerius at Cyzicus for Maximinus II.</p><p>GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES</p><p>GENIO CAESARIS</p><p>&nbsp; MKΓ</p><p>RIC VI Cycicus 34</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many related web pages. Here is a page of links to them:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You might bookmark that page of links if you have any interest in coins of 284-324.</p><p><br /></p><p>Show us some coins of the period![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
