[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2058460, member: 19463"]No one has them right but there is at least one right answer to each coin. I really did not think this was that hard but I felt a little bad about the trick which zumbly saw immediately. Except for that tricky one, YOC was right on all. Trick #2 was that there were no coins of Maximianus. The first and last were Maximinus II while all the rest were Galerius. Perhaps I was too hard on that dealer who mixed these up if so many of us have the same problem. The basic rules are: If it says Maximinus (not Maximi[B]a[/B]nus) it is Maximinus II. If it says Caesar or some abbreviation of Caesar it is NOT Maximianus. If it says GAL and Maximianus it is Galerius. If it says GAL it can not be Maximianus. If it says MA (Marcus Aurelius) Maximianus it is Maximianus. The quarter follis (#4) of Galerius with simply MAXIMIANVSAVG is a tricker and there are a few others that you have to go to RIC to get but most coins yield to the above rules.[/QUOTE]
