The eastern mints Antioch and Alexandria under his control continued to use Nobilisimus Caesar on the coins for Maximinus. The GENIO F-IL AVGG reverse was only minted in Antioch and only for Constantine. Other mints under Galerius and Maximinus used GENIO CAESARIS and GENIO AVGVSTI reverses for either Constantine or Maximinus where the obverse ledgend designates as Filius Augustorum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
