[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2873918, member: 44316"]Just you wait. You'll be back. Yes, that is an excellent one, but the one you are upgrading has an excellent type for a Herculean emperor, plus it is a different denomination and a different part of the reign. Yes. Here is my example of that type:[ATTACH=full]687535[/ATTACH] But, there are many more interesting Maximian coins, as the above posts have proven. One of my favorites is this one: [ATTACH=full]687583[/ATTACH] The portrait is so expressive. 28 mm. 9.885 grams. Struck c. 303. RIC VI London 23b. Before one can be "done" with Maximian, one certainly needs an abdication piece to go with an ant and the follis (not to mention the other denominations). [ATTACH=full]687584[/ATTACH] 27-26 mm. 9.79 grams. Struck May 1, 305 - early 307 at Trier. RIC VI Trier 673b. I'll stop here, but I am far from "done" with Maximian![/QUOTE]
