<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8006528, member: 19463"]While I have no real reason to doubt this AVG vs. AVGG theory, I would point out that the coins of Carus and family played by 'different' rules regarding the G count. For example, these Caesar issues of Numerian read AVGGG which means they counted Caesars. While we certainly have been taught the meaning of GG, I would not bet the farm. How certain are we that the mint followed the rules as strictly as we might wish? First, study all the evidence as to when Maximianus was elevated not based on coin evidence and see if everything lines up as 'certain' or 'likely'. Is there hoard evidence showing that there was a time with sole reign Diocletian coins? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1389102[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
