[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3801116, member: 99456"]Adding an entry late in the game, it is a tough call for me between Valentinian (13 posts referencing Maxentius) and dougsmit (39 posts referencing Maxentius), so I am going with [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] as I think he once commented on the "boyish bangs" of Maxentius. I have no coins of Maxentius - so I will share this one of his eastern co-emperor (AD 306-311) and father-in-law (he married Valeria Maximilla daughter of Galerius): [ATTACH=full]1014818[/ATTACH] [B]Galerius, as Caesar[/B] (AD 293-305) AE Follis (8.48g, 31mm) [B]Mint:[/B] Heraclea, 3rd officina c. 296-297 [B]Obv: [/B]GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES, laureate head of Galerius right [B]Rev:[/B] GENIO POPV-L-I ROMANI, Genius standing facing, modius on head left, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, patera in right hand from which liquor flows, cornucopia in left; HTΓ in exergue.[/QUOTE]
