Maximian had an upturned or bulbous nose, and Galerius did not. Maybe you have read or think about portraits of the tetrarchs that &quot;they all look alike&quot; but that is not so once you become familiar with their portraits.</p><p><br /></p><p>This page: </p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://augustuscoins.com/pages/edit/coins/ed/tetrarchy/Maximianfolles.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/pages/edit/coins/ed/tetrarchy/Maximianfolles.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/pages/edit/coins/ed/tetrarchy/Maximianfolles.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>is devoted to the GENIO POPVLI ROMANI coins of Maximian (not from Carthage) and this one:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Galeriusfolles.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Galeriusfolles.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/Galeriusfolles.html</a></p><p>is devoted to the GENIO POPVLI ROMANI coins of Galerius.
