<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 7976966, member: 120820&quot;]I just received this one today, and as another &quot;dinner priced&quot; ($66) coin, I&#039;d say it&#039;s also a bargain.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is RIC VI Rome 45a from the first Rome mint issue after Diocletian&#039;s coinage reform of 294 AD, when the nummus was introduced, and the coinage was standardized across mints. As typical for these first-issue coins, only the mint is indicated (here &quot;R&quot; for Rome), and no officina. This Rome first issue seems pretty scarce - I&#039;ve only ever seen one other, the RIC 45b (Maximianus) BM plate coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]_867U26BaOI[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
