<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 7322182, member: 75525&quot;][ATTACH=full]1279662[/ATTACH] </p><p>I saw this post today while looking for info on a coin I just bought. My eyes crossed trying to read the the info. It looks like I have:</p><ul> <li>Maximian (286-310). BI Antoninianus. Cyzicus mint, 293 AD.</li> <li>Obv. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.<ul> <li>OL2: IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS AVG</li> </ul></li> <li>Rev. Emperor standing right, holding sceptre and receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter standing left, holding sceptre; between them,<ul> <li>RL3b: CONCORDIA MI–LITVM (dot)</li> <li>Between, S</li> <li>in exergue, XXI</li> </ul></li> </ul><p>My question is about the headgear on the emperor on the reverse. My coin looks like he is wearing a radiate crown. Other examples I see online look like laurate busts with no rays. Is this something mentioned in any of the writeups you have seen? Is this detail too small to mention?</p><p>[USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] </p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; </p><p>[USER=31620]@maridvnvm[/USER] </p><p>[USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/artemide-kunstauktionen-e17-maximian-lrb-archeic-a-weight.378001/#post-7320930" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/artemide-kunstauktionen-e17-maximian-lrb-archeic-a-weight.378001/#post-7320930">Artemide Kunstauktionen e17: Maximian LRB &amp; archeic A weight | Coin Talk</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
