<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 25690000, member: 10613&quot;]I bought several coins this week and remembered it is also my 22nd anniversary tomorrow. The gift for this anniversary is copper and as luck would have it; these ancient bronze coins have at least 75% copper. So, happy anniversary to me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first is this fantastic depiction of Maximianus as Hercules. The bust is described as cuirassed in the literature; but Maximianus is bare chested and only wearing a baldric.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1642661[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Maximianus</font></p><p><font size="4">A.D. 288</font></p><p><font size="4">silvered Ӕ Antoninianus</font></p><p><font size="4">21x22mm&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.6g&nbsp; </font></p><p><font size="4">IMP MAXIMIANVS P AVG; Radiate, bare bust wearing baldric, lion’s skin across shoulder and carrying club.</font></p><p><font size="4">HERCVLI PACIFERO; Hercules stg. l., holding branch, club and lion’s skin; in left field B.</font></p><p><font size="4">In ex.
