<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thejewk, post: 4536033, member: 100136&quot;]Won a coin on ebay yesterday, and waiting to get it in hand, but couldn&#039;t resist sharing the seller&#039;s pictures in advance.&nbsp; The coin was advertised as a Maximian, but I am fairly convinced that it is in fact a far scarcer coin of Galerius Augustus sharing the legend more common to the coins of Maximian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1123183[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>LMCC 4.03.004</p><p>IMP MAXIMIANVS P F AVG</p><p>GENIO POPV LI ROMANI</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between them is the portrait style, most prominently the nose.&nbsp; Here it is straight and strong, and similar to the portraits of Diocletian but without the prominent worry lines that distinguish his London coinage.&nbsp; Maximian&#039;s nose is usually curved upwards and sort of piggish.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone confirm my attribution?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
