<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3243390, member: 82549&quot;]I was going through a lot of coins that I&#039;d recently won in a CNG auction, and I came across this Diocletian antoninianus:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]849532[/ATTACH]</p><p>AE antoninianus</p><p>Ticinum mint, A.D. 294</p><p>Obv: IMP C VAL DIOCLETIANVS AVG</p><p>Rev: IOVI C-O-NSERVAT - Jupiter, standing, head facing right, holding scepter in right hand and thunderbolt in left.</p><p>XXIT in exergue.</p><p>23 mm, 3.8 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin belongs after RIC (Vol. V,ii) 232. There is no officina in the field. Pre-reform coins of Diocletian from Ticinum had XXIT in the exergue, originally preceded by Latin letters denoting officina, then, beginning around 292 A.D. with Greek officina letters in the field. In 294 the officina letters were dropped briefly before the monetary reform. RIC lists this last issue without officinas for several reverse types, but not for this one particular reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there someplace I should report this? I know about the excellent &quot;Not in RIC&quot; web site, but that begins with RIC vol. VI, after the coinage reform. Is there anyone keeping track of these additions that I should notify?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
