Rome

 

coming a bit too late:

Rome, 310 - 311 AD, 1st Officina
22 x 24 mm, 5.657 g
RIC VI, Rom 273 var. (only RBS is shown); similar to RIC VI 272;

Haven't found what does the N after AVG mean?

Ob.: IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG laureate head of Maxentius right
Rev.: VICTORIA AVG N Victory advancing l. holding wreath in r. hand and palm in l., at her feet, captive; in ex. RBP (Roma Beata, Prima officina)

​

 

Augusti Nostri

 

Thinking about the Latin grammar - mine is really poor:

if Victoria is the subject (singular, fem.), the adjective should also be singular and feminine: Victoria Augusta Nostra ?

 

My one Maxentius:

Maxentius (son of Maximian), AE Follis, 308-310 AD, Rome Mint (1st Officina). Obv. Laureate head right, IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG / Rev. Roma seated facing, head left, holding globe in right hand and scepter in left hand, shield set on ground to right, all within hexastyle temple with wreath in pediment, CONSERV VRB SVAE; RBP in exergue. RIC VI 210, Sear RCV IV 14987. 26mm, 7.39 g.

 

That would mean "our empress Victoria."

If you are trying to say "the victory of our emperor," you would have to put "emperor" in the genitive case. "Our," because it modifies "emperor," would have to be in the genitive case as well.

 

Maxentius AE Follis. ca 307-310 AD. RIC 121a; Sear 14983.
IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG, laureate head right /
CONSERV-VRB SVAE, Roma seated facing, head left, in hexastyle temple, holding globe and sceptre, knobs as acroteria; star in pediment. Mintmark AQP.


Maxentius, AE follis, Ostia. 309-312 AD. RIC 35; Cohen 5; Sear 14975.
IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG, laureate head right /
AETERNITAS AVG N, the Dioscuri Castor and Pollux standing facing each other, each holding sceptre and holding a horse by the bridle. Mintmark MOSTS.
