[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1667649, member: 25357"]Indeed. I fell victim to this very mis-attribution and I've only been collecting Roman Imperials for a couple of months now. Luckily the knowledgeable members on this very forum were kind enough to jump in and provide guidance. Here's the coin originally sold to me as a Maximianus I, now re-posted with my attempt at correct attribution. Galerius; 297-298 AD Bronze AE Follis; Heraclea mint; 29mm/9.2 g OBV: GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES; Laureate Head Right REV: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI; Genus standing left holding patera & cornucopia RIC VI 20 b, G Best way to learn is to dive right in and learn from your mistakes. The sheer volume and variety of coins, mintmarks, legends, overlapping emperors using the same or similiar names makes it a real challenge. Therein lies the fun. And after many stabs at this one, I still might not have nailed it, but I'm getting better. References like ERIC III are a big help to me as a beginner, thanks for all the work you put in rasiel![/QUOTE]
