Never the less, the question still remains what is the translations of these letters <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? As was posted by Roman Collector, the <b>S - F</b> was also used on Diocletian folles from the Trier Mint. I also have a rare follis of Diocletian that also uses these letters from the Trier Mint, see the photo below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186540[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Diocletian, AD 284 - 305 (struck AD 303 - May 1, 305), Trier Mint, 1st Officina, AE Follis: 10.59 gm, 32 mm, 6 h.
