In 294, Diocletian introduced a reform of the coin system, which eliminated the traditional Antoninian denomination. Hence, Antoninitani in the name of Galerius (and the other caesar Constantius Chlorus) are quite scarce, especially in good condition. I found this one on French Ebay at a very reasonable price (seller&#039;s picture).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1419989[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please show us Antoniniani of Galerius and Constantius Chlorus (or any other coin that relates to the early tetrachy).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
