<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 5715570, member: 80783&quot;]After managing to complete my Sestertius set last year, I decided to extend to the collection with a one-coin-per ruler set of the Tetrarchies next.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not going to bother about different mints of officinae but just try to have a different reverse type for each ruler if possible. I have yet to read myself into the coinage of this time period but noticed that there are few different designs available.</p><p><br /></p><p>So as I start from scratch I would be glad for any suggestions of which typical, exclusive or interesting reverse types I should search for the respective rulers (for instance I do not want to end up with half a dozen GENIO POPVLI ROMANI coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>My first &quot;LBR&quot; (and first purchase of the year) is of Maxentius:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1242815[/ATTACH] </p><p>IMP C MAXENTIVS PF AVG – Laureate head of Maxentius right /</p><p>AETERNITAS AVG N&nbsp; MOSTΓ – The Dioskuri Castor and Pollux standing facing one another, each holding his bridled horse and resting on sceptre; between, she-wolf standing left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus</p><p>Æ Follis, Ostia mind, 3rd officina, AD 309</p><p>25mm / 5,64 gr / 12h</p><p>RIC VI 16, Cohen 10, Sear 14976, Drost 17 b</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not as hefty or golden-toned as a Sestertius, but I think I got a historically significant item for just 29 Euros <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins of Maxentius, the Dioskuri, the She-Wolf and twins, an any suggestions for ideal ruler/reverse combinations I should look for next![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
