<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 8222672, member: 120820&quot;]The RIC 77a attribution is correct, as is the date (which comes from the attribution), but of course this 306-307 date range is 3rd tetrarchy, and Maximianus had retired in 305 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this is a case of Gorny going out on a limb and saying RIC is wrong and they really think this is Maximianus, otherwise they&#039;d have given a 1st tetrarchy date range. Instead, they seem to have first attributed the coin, copying the RIC number and date, but then ignored the attribution when writing the blurb and given a name of &quot;Maximianus Hercules&quot; rather than the correct &quot;Galerius Maximianus&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;d think catalogers would be more careful, but here we&#039;ve got 2/3 of the ones you mentioned making mistakes, so they really can&#039;t be relied on.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444397[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
