<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2051403, member: 44316&quot;]Maxentius issued a series of commemorative coins in the names of Constantius I, Maximian, and Galerius, c.310-311.&nbsp; Maximian was his father and is called PATRI on the issue. Galerius is SOCERO, in-law (I&#039;m not sure how this fits, he was son-in-law of Diocletian, but I don&#039;t think he was a relative of Maxentius). Maxentius&#039;s sister Fausta married Constantine and Constantius was Constantine&#039;s father. Constantius has two obverse legends, either ADFINI, a relative by marriage, or COGN (COGNAT) a &quot;kinsman&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>Here is an example of the COGN type with a temple with four columns, surmounted by an eagle. The obverse has head right, veiled:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376768[/ATTACH] </p><p>IMP MAXENTIVS DIVO CONSTANTIO COGN</p><p>AETERNAE MEMORIAE</p><p>RET mintmark, RIC VI Rome 245, &quot;c.310-311&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
