<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3630657, member: 19463&quot;]Let&#039;s remember That all three of these are the same years.&nbsp; Earlier, the practice was for a junior ruler to begin his dates with the then current number of the senior Augustus.&nbsp; Therefore, LIH of Septimius Severus and Caracalla were the same year even though Caracalla&#039;s coins did not start for several years after his father&#039;s.&nbsp; Diocletian broke with this system and started Maximianus with LA even though Diocletian was LB so there always is a one year setback between the two.&nbsp; The Caesars did not start until long after Diocletian and Maximianus but they started with one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only have one Diocletian A year 9 to show.&nbsp;&nbsp; We need to remember that there are many coins on small flans or off center which lost the exergue number if there was one. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]973773[/ATTACH] </p><p>This Maximianus year 9 shows nothing between the ground line and the outer border.&nbsp; It would seem it should have a B.&nbsp; Does this mean the practice was stopped in that year??? Does anyone have a Diocletian year ten with a clear exergue with or without the A?&nbsp; Who has a year 11 or 12 to show?&nbsp; Emmett lists them but I have none. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]973774[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
