<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3631067, member: 97383&quot;]Justin Lee, I enjoyed your article &amp; excellent group of coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The transition from old coinage to Diocletian&#039;s reform coinage must have been a welcome relief until the reform coinage declined in quality <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Pictured below is an Alexandrian follis I&#039;ve posted before but will add to your thread for comparison. Galerius as Caesar, circa AD 304-5, with Jupiter on the reverse holding Victory on a globe &amp; scepter, 5th Officina, 11.39 gm, 27 mm. Quoting David Sear: &quot;The meaning of <b>S P </b>on the reverse is uncertain, but <i>RIC </i>suggests <b>sacra pecunia </b>as a possibility.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]973877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]973878[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
