<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 8006408, member: 84744"]While I'm mostly a history-based generalist collector, I do have a thing for these early sole-Augustus issues for Diocletian in the East, i.e. from the mints he controlled before the final defeat of Carinus. (The coins were certainly issued before the elevation of Maximian in 285, due to the "AVG" in the reverse legend.) Here's the list of types that RIC regards as dateable to 284:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4">Antioch:</font></p><p><font size="4">324 1C, IOVI CONSERVATORI AVG, A to EΔ in field, XXI in ex.
