<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frankjg, post: 1871297, member: 17567&quot;]Here is the other one I picked up yesterday</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m having a hard time attributing this one due to the worn obv legend.&nbsp; At first I thought it was Licinius, however, after reading up on the Tetrarchy I discovered that the coinage for each emperor in the Tetrarchy used the same bust features to present somewhat of a unified rulership.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is a little more legible and I&#039;m pretty sure it reads GENIO POPVI ROMANI</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint mark under exurge reads HTE which is Heraclea.</p><p><br /></p><p>28mm</p><p>8.5g</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m between Diocletian, Galerius, and Maximinanus.... Anyone I&#039;m missing?</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks smoother in hand..&nbsp; I need to work on photography next.&nbsp; One thing at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other question, there is some dirt/crud around the letters.&nbsp; Can I safely remove it with olive oil and a thorn? (Ill do a search on cleaning)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a53/frankjg2/3a001c0539ed06975a5fd17307d72073.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a53/frankjg2/13dbd7a23e1c4fb09ea29b8e5830aa50.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
