[QUOTE="OutsiderSubtype, post: 5011854, member: 112457"]Okay here are my thoughts for "thematic" coins for the Tetrarchs you have in bold. Constantius had a special connection to London. He was made an emperor for the express purpose of bringing Britain back into the Empire. Get a London mint coin for him. Galerius won big military victories in the East and was the initial architect of the Great Persecution. Get something from an eastern mint for him, like Cyzicus or Siscia. Maxentius was making the case for the City of Rome and Italy as the real capitals of the empire, so get one of his coins that has symbols of the city - the Dioscuri or Wolf and Twins. Maximinus Daia get one of the coins that have him as Filius Augustorum (FIL AVGG) to represent the awkward attempts Galerius made to appease everybody who thought he had a claim to the empire.
