<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3715308, member: 97383"]Doug, You may have answered your own question <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Whoever the claimant controlling the area of the mint location at that specific time most likely dictated what the inscription should look like <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. After Diocletian & Maximian abdicated the Roman coinage grew even more complex than it was before <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I've been looking for a high grade nummus with the <b>FIL AVG</b> inscription ending for a long time without success <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The example Terrence posted is certainly high grade, & your Maximinus Daia nummus is a handsome example despite the light porosity on the obverse. Your Daia example is the 1st I've seen with the <b>AVGG</b> ending to the inscription, & I'm sure quite RARE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3715308, member: 97383"]Doug, You may have answered your own question :).

After Diocletian & Maximian abdicated the Roman coinage grew even more complex than it was before :rolleyes:. I've been looking for a high grade nummus with the [B]FIL AVG[/B] inscription ending for a long time without success :(.
