<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IMP Shogun, post: 5011848, member: 114683&quot;]Greetings,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking for your suggestions on types of coins minted during the late Roman Tetrarchy period in the names of the Augusti. I&#039;ve posted, or in some cases purchased from members of the forum so they may be going on a third or fourth life. I&#039;m particularly interested in suggestions for the fellas in bold:</p><p><br /></p><p>Diocletian 284–305 A.D. </p><p>Maximianus 287–305 A.D. </p><p><b> Constantius I 305–306 A.D</b>. </p><p><b> Galerius 305–311 A.D.&nbsp; </b></p><p><b>&nbsp;Maxentius (Italy) 306–312 A.D.&nbsp; </b></p><p>Constantine I&nbsp; 307–337 A.D.</p><p>Licinius 308–324 A.D. follis, </p><p><b>Maximinus Daia 310–313 A.D. </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/diocletian.15349/full?lightbox=1&amp;last_edit_date=1601437982" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </b></p><p><b>&nbsp;Diocletian 284–305 A.D.</b> follis (for lack of a better word) RIC VI 29a Ticinium </p><p>Genius standing left, modius on head, with patera and cornucopia. Mintmark PT. 28.5mm on an oval flan, 10.1g.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a less common of a common type, but for that oval flan and letter crowding this would be one of my favorite. Diocletian has very attractive other types of coins such as an argenteus or a strike representing events.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/maximianus-287%E2%80%93305-ad-follis-ric-vi-25-london.15630/full?lightbox=1&amp;last_edit_date=1605153958" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </b></p><p><b>&nbsp;Maximianus 287–305 A.D., </b>follis RIC VI 25 Lundinium</p><p>IMP MAXIMANVS P F AVG / GENIO POPVLI ROMANI </p><p>Genius standing left, modius on head, holding patera and cornucopiae, no altar or mint marks. 28mm 6.53g</p><p><br /></p><p>The first run of these guys was steady, Genius is appropriate...for now.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/constantine-i-307%E2%80%93337-ad-follis-ric-vii-4.15632/full?lightbox=1&amp;last_edit_date=1605154202" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b> Constantine I&nbsp; 307–337 A.D.</b> follis RIC VII 4 Lugdunum&nbsp; </p><p>IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG / SOLI INVICTO COMITI&nbsp; </p><p>Sol standing left, raising hand and holding globe. 21.5mm 4.56g</p><p><br /></p><p>Horde coin that retains great detail, although there are some legend issues.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/licinius-308%E2%80%93324-ad-follis-ric-73.15631/full?d=1605154044" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b> Licinius 308–324 A.D. </b>follis RIC 73 Thessalonica </p><p>IMP LIC LICINIVS P F AVG / IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGGG&nbsp; mintmark: TSA</p><p>Jupiter standing left, holding Victory. 23mm 3.3g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well struck reverse; a lot going on as Licinius is trying to look Presidential.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see when left up to me I tend to compile very similar looking coins, so the ones I get next will have to make up some variety.&nbsp; Thanks for any suggestions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
