[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8321532, member: 120820"]Nice Trier coins, everyone! I'm fond of the mint too. Here's a couple of Constantine's QVIES types, recognizing the retirement of Diocletian and Maximianus. Diocletian - RIC VII Trier 699, 307 AD [ATTACH=full]1474097[/ATTACH] Despite the plural "AVGVSTORM" reverse, this type only exists for Diocletian, so presumably was issued after Maximianus had already come back out of retirement and was in cahoots with Constantine. Maximianus - RIC VII Trier 788, 308-309 AD [ATTACH=full]1474098[/ATTACH] After Maximianus' brief-ish "2nd reign" he was finally forced back into retirement by Galerius and Diocletian (who had been invited, out of retirement, to lend some authority to the event) at the Carnuntum conference in 11-308, and Constantine duly issued this type for him.[/QUOTE]
