    Lovely coins @Caesar_Augustus! The Diocletian and Galerius are my favorites!

    Wonderful selections. Your collecting tastes align quite closely with mine. I am a fool for a nice follis. You have several here.

    Beautiful Lugdunum mint folles! :)

    Thanks everyone! I have a cool thread on the evolution of London Mint coinage coming. Will show an examples of coins from Carausius to Constantine. :)

    Severus Alexander find me at NumisForums

    I'm glad I managed to twist your arm on this. Truth be told, that arm was a bit rubbery though. :p Quite rightly, what a great list! My favourites are the invasion follis, the Carthage follis (just wow on that reverse!) and the Diocletian London.

    I have an alternative theory about your Max II Daia: it was actually struck under the authority of Licinius, who wanted to subtly (or not so subtly) indicate that Max II WAS A BIG FAT NOB.

    P.S. Thanks for the tip which allowed me to get my own invasion follis!

    Great coins. My favorite is Galerius follis with Africa on reverse.
