<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8133361, member: 19463&quot;]If you are going to collect this period you must be very careful about every letter and every &#039;rule&#039; to separate the various players.&nbsp; You wrote Maximinus but the coin is clearly MaximiAnus.&nbsp; There are no coins of the first Maximianus as Caesar so coins with the extra A have to be the man we call Galerius. Historians have given us name conventions like Galerius even though only some of his coins have an abbreviation of that name.&nbsp; I would have preferred we call him Maximianus II.&nbsp; In the hope that I could help people having trouble with this, in 1998 I posted my page on the matter.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/max.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/max.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/max.html</a></p><p>I apologize for the poor photos on that page.&nbsp; I never upgraded them from the scanned prints I was making before I got a digital camera.&nbsp; I do believe the information there would help anyone who is troubled by the matter.</p><p>One each, Maximi<u>a</u>nus (Hercules), Maximi<u>a</u>nus II (Galerius), Maximinus (way back in 235-238) and Maximinus II (Daza):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1416877[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416879[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416878[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I may be unreasonable but I still believe that we should patronize sellers who can identify what they sell correctly and not those who make false claims of being worth their buyer&#039;s premium.&nbsp; If you wanted a coin of any of the rulers of this period you could have chosen one from the stock of a thousand dealers with a clue. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, look!
