<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 3441704, member: 80804&quot;]As it turns out, it was I who corrected their erroneous, original attribution of that follis to Maximinus I - gave them side-by-side images of coins of the two Maximini to demonstrate the great difference between the coins of the mid 3rd and the early 4th centuries. This was back in, oh, 2002 or so, if I recall correctly. I was helping a young lady do some research for a master&#039;s thesis. Her subject was coins found in seemingly unlikely places. I saw the original website and the error, and got in touch with the museum. As noted, they did change the attribution in the linked text - but they also removed the coins from public display at around the same time. Too anomalous for a little local museum to try to explain and deal with. Plus, I suspect they may have attracted the attention of a few too many of the tinfoil-hat crowd.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
