<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joseph Sarkissian, post: 3045354, member: 78162&quot;]Can someone identify this coin exactly? [ATTACH=full]760740[/ATTACH]</p><p>AE25 Galerius AE Follis. 300 AD??. GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES, laureate head right /&nbsp; GENIO POPV-L-I ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder, and cornucopiae.&nbsp; S to left, B over P to right. </p><p>Mintmark ALE.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the same S, B, P markings it comes up on a coin with Jupiter (Alexandria RIC VI 43b). The closest I can get with a Genio on the reverse is Alexandria RIC VI 44, however in that one the head is facing left instead of right. </p><p>If someone would explain what the markings left and right of Genio mean that would be appreciated. Reignal year? </p><p><br /></p><p>I read up on the Maximianus /Galerius coinage confusions in a nice article on forumancientcoins. Trying to make sense of it all, as i have a bunch of coins from both emperors called &quot;Maximianus&quot; I am cataloging. The tetrarchy was an interesting and messy period and needs some attention for an amateur like me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
