[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3421904, member: 98035"]Nice write up! It is indeed a but daunting; the Tetrarchy was the last of the "easy" Roman period sets I completed, for exactly this reason! One thing that always vexed me: Diocletian named Maximian as his Caesar in 285 before raising him to Augustus a handful of months later. Why don't we have any coins for this? OR, is it possible that some of the "Galerius" antoninianii are in fact of Maximian as Caesar? Theoretically, the pre-reform tetrarchic coinage should have circulated with coins of Aurelian through Carinus, so how would we really know? Some of my coins: Maximian [ATTACH=full]908653[/ATTACH] Galerius as Caesar [ATTACH=full]908654[/ATTACH] As Augustus [ATTACH=full]908655[/ATTACH] Maximinus II [ATTACH=full]908656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
