<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4246271, member: 97383&quot;]Fugio 1, Congratulations on your score <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The coin appears to be in choice mint state with a beautifully modeled portrait <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It&#039;s hard to say what Maximian really looked like since most of the sculptures of him are done in &quot;oriental style&quot;. The only period marble bust I&#039;ve seen of him that may be realistic is pictured below, &amp; this sculpture might be &quot;idealized&quot; too. I believe this marble bust is in a museum in Toulouse, France.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1083837[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a follis of Maximian that I bought many years ago from a Freeman &amp; Sear auction pictured below. It is in the same style as the coins posted by Doug Smith &amp; zumbly.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1083846[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Maximian, circa AD 303, Londinium Mint, AE follis: 9.67 gm, 26 mm, 6 h.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>While browsing thru old photos I found a very perplexing coin in the A.N.S. collection pictured below <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I believe this coin has been misattributed by them as Maximian, when in fact it should be Maximinus II. <b>CT</b> members give your take on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1083851[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Bronze AE1 of Maximian, Trier, AD 296 - AD 297, ID #1984.146.1276</b></p><p><b>9.26 gm, 26 mm, 6 h.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
