<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1830390, member: 57495&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this Galerius because I was interested in what it represents - the last gasp of the antoninianus, just before Diocletian&#039;s monetary reforms of 293/294 took them out permanently.</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]302083[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse, Hercules standing with his club and bow, seems to feature on a Lugdunum antoninianus of Constantius Chlorus (RIC 646), but the seller notes that it is unlisted in RIC for Galerius.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked about online and have also found nothing.&nbsp; Does anyone with access to other reference works know if it&#039;s listed elsewhere?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the circumstances under which antoninianii of Constantius I and Galerius were minted (I&#039;m reading that there were just a few months between their elevation to Caesar and the start of the monetary reforms), I&#039;m curious as to whether a variety of unlisted rarities such as this one may in fact be not all that uncommon?</p><p><br /></p><p>And do post any Galerius antoninianii if you have any!</p><p><br /></p><p>Z.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
