[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 8085768, member: 96898"]Congratulations on completing the set! That's a very interesting write-up. I am not focusing on this area and had no idea that coins struck for Diocletian under Domitius Domitianus were scarce. Mine came in a cheap mixed lot a couple of years ago and unfortunately is in wretched condition: [SIZE=3][ATTACH=full]1404803[/ATTACH] Diocletian (struck under Domitius Domitianus), Roman Empire, AE1 ("follis"), 295–296 AD, Alexandria mint. Obv: IMP C DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG; head of Diocletian, laureate, r. Rev: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI; Genius, wearing modius, nude, chlamys draped over l. shoulder, standing l., holding patera in r. hand and holding cornucopiae in l. hand; at feet to l., eagle holding wreath in its beak; in field r., B; in exergue, ALE. 26mm, 8.96g.
