Message:: [QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 2941604, member: 14873"] <ul> <li>I want to re-visit the following coin - excuse my tardiness in not doing this sooner, but I experience great difficult in doing simple tasks such as navigating this forum and even typing due to the soreness and pain I am experiencing since I bruised/cracked my ribs during a recent fall. With that out of the way .......... The coin I depict here -  a Lugdunum mint follis (marked LA) referred to by Sutherland in his introductory text to the Londinium section of RIC Volume VI, pages 114/115 and his introductory text to the Lugdunum section, pages 230/231 - is of great historical importance because it is one of the first Diocletian reformed AE coins (folles) issued. I have found these coins very hard to come by - this specimen is the only one I have owned. For Curtisimo -  I want to be sure this coin ends up with a collector who has a great passion for Diocletian coinage (and the historical associations attending it). You embody that - if you would like to have this coin, let me know via PM and I will mail it to you. RIC Volume VI, Lugdunum, Group I, (ii), Diocletian, No. 2a <img src="http://jp29.org/lug2ao1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://jp29.org/lug2ar1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Obverse: IMP C DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Reverse: GENIO POP - VLI ROMANI</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Exergue: LA</li> </ul> <ul> <li>8.5 gm.</li> </ul>[/QUOTE]
