Head right laureate Rv Genius standing left pouring liquor out of patera. RIC 100b 6.18 grms 23 mm [ATTACH=full]1302537[/ATTACH]This coin is in response to the breakdown in the tetrarchic system instituted by Diocletian. After the death of Constantius I and the election of Constantine as Augustus by the soldiers in the western part of the empire the title of FIL AVG was created by Galerius in an effort to paper over the stresses now building up within the system but also in an effort to maintain his authority over the Tetrarchy. It did not work. Constantine ignored it and Diai chafed under it. Eventually it was abandoned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
