<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4352220, member: 44316&quot;]I am announcing a new web page on types with GENIO in the legend during and after the period of the First Tetrarchy (The First Tetrarchy was from 293 to 305 with Diocletian and Maximian as Augusti and Galerius and Constantius as Caesars). </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>GENIO POPVLI ROMANI is by far the most common legend and has its own web pages, so it is not emphasized there. That page discusses types like <b>GENIO AVGG ET CAESARVM NN</b>. This legend was used only at Cyzicus and only for Caesars, not Augusti.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1101366[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius</p><p>27 mm. 8.43 grams.</p><p>FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES</p><p>GENIO AVGG ET CAESARVM NN</p><p>KB</p><p><i>RIC</i> VI Cyzicus 11a &quot;c. 297-299&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other web pages of greater general interest. If you are not already very familiar with the coinage of the period, you might to start with the main page about the <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" rel="nofollow">coins of the First Tetrarchy</a>. Then there are pages on <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Second.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Second.html" rel="nofollow">coins of the Second Tetrarchy</a>, all the <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/follistypes.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/follistypes.html" rel="nofollow">follis types</a> under the First Tetrarchy, retirement issues, and several other topics. After you know the basics, there remains a chance you will still be interested enough to delve further into in the GENIO page I am announcing now. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GENIO.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Show us some folles with &quot;GENIO&quot; in the legend that are not the common &quot;GENIO POPVLI ROMANI&quot; type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
