<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4735928, member: 97383&quot;]I finally got around to photographing this coin I scored earlier this year, pictured below. It was labeled <b>RIC VI, 61b</b>, but now I&#039;m not so sure of that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1158611[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Roman Empire, Maximian Herculius, AD 286 - 310 (struck AD 305 ?) Aquileia Mint, 1st Officina. AE follis: 11.98 gm, 28 mm, 12 h. Striking weakness at 12 h. Obverse: Maximian facing left, wearing a helmet and cuirass, holding a spear and decorated shield, IMP&nbsp; MAXIMIANVS&nbsp; P&nbsp; F&nbsp; AVG.

This coin was also labeled <b>RIC VI, 61b,</b> but has obvious differences from my coin. The helmet, cuirass, and shield are different, and on this coin Maximian is holding a scepter, not a spear. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1158630[/ATTACH] </p><p>Can anyone confirm the IDs on these coins? Thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
