There are a couple of legend varieties for each of the three Augusti for whom they were struck.</p><p>Another fractional-follis set would be the &quot;pagan&quot; issues of Maximin II like this fairly common Apollo from Antioch.</p><p><img src="http://old.stoa.org/albums/album162/34c_Apollini_1_310_311.sized.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>A few of the types in this batch are scarce-to-rare however and not as easy to find as this type and a couple others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anonymous Pagan Issue, Time of Maximinus II</p><p>Æ 3 - ¼ Follis,16mm, 1.79g, 11h</p><p>Mint of Antioch, 310-311 AD.</p><p>Obv: GENIO ANTIOCHENI </p><p>Genius seated facing, river-god swimming at feet.</p><p>Rx: APOLLONI SANCTO </p><p>Apollo standing left pouring from patera and holding lyre; in field right: A; in ex: SMA.</p><p>(Formerly thought to be Julian’s, now known to be Maximinus’)</p><p>RIC VI --, SR --, VM --, Vagi 2954[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
