<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3583443, member: 97383&quot;]I recently scored a nice looking follis from the last <b>Roma E-Auction 58</b>, pictured below. It&#039;s struck in the name of Maximian, circa AD 300, Aquileia Mint, 1st Officina, 28 mm, 9.87 gm, 11h. The goddess Moneta is pictured on the reverse holding scales &amp; a cornucopia &amp; the inscription reads: <b>SACRA MONET AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR&nbsp; </b>&amp; <b>AQP</b> in exergue.

The styles are so close I think the coins could have been engraved by the same celator.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]956345[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]956348[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another example I bought many years ago from the Aquileia Mint, 2nd Officina, has the common Genius on the reverse with an altar at his feet. This coin is a few years older.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]956353[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]956354[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The last two coins were purchased in ICG slabs <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, &amp; have since been removed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
