<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4101196, member: 87404"]Warren, your thread here and your page(s) about the First Tetrarchy made me review my coins of that period (above) as well as those couple I have just after that (the Second Tetrarchy, right?)... I was hugely struggling over this coin because of the name on the obverse and the lack of and GAL VAL or the like, making me think it was the same Max as above. And I'm used to seeing Galerius having the NOB C that, again, the Galerius above has. But, nope, after searching and clicking I came to another page of yours that helped me out with that too. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20180706_134340685.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><font size="3"><b><u>Galerius</u> Maximianus (not Maximianus Herculius)</b></font></p><p><font size="3"><b>AE2, Struck 309-310 AD, Siscia Mint</b></font></p><p><font size="3">Obverse: IMP MAXIMIANVS P F AVG, laureate head right.</font></p><p><font size="3">Reverse: GENIO CA-ESARIS: Genius, wearing modius, nude, chlamys draped over left shoulder, standing left, holding patera in right hand and cornucopiae in left hand, crescent in left field, Γ in right field.</font></p><p><font size="3">Exergue: SIS</font></p><p><font size="3">References: RIC VI Siscia 201a</font></p><p><br /></p><p>To quote your paragraph that helped me:</p><blockquote><p>"The Augustus we call Galerius was named Galerius Maximianus.
