[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 3945890, member: 77077"]My wife and I opened our Secret Saturnalia gift this evening and were pleased to find we were matched up with the most excellent [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] ! We were very excited to find this super sharp and fully silvered coin of Maximianus: [ATTACH=full]1039891[/ATTACH] Maximianus, Second Reign, 306-308 AD AE Follis, 26 mm, 7.14 grams, Rome Mint Obverse: Laureate head of Maximian right. IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG. Reverse: Hexastyle temple with three steps with a decorated and festooned triangular pediment; in the center, Roma seated, facing left, holding a globe in her right hand and a long scepter in her left hand; behind her, a shield. CONSERVATO - RES VRB SVAE / R*P (The Protectors of the City). RIC 194b Extremely fine with full silvering. The only coin of Maximianus we had until now was a ratty Alexandria tetradrachm, so this is a HUGE upgrade for our Roman collection. It is a very striking coin in hand, it looks fresh from the mint. Thanks very much for the excellent gift, it made our day. John[/QUOTE]
