Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 4:41 pm Quote: I had hoped to expand my reverse types last weekend by bidding on a FORTVNA REDVCI of Maximianus (1st tetrarchy) but I was astounded when it sold for 445£ I can't tell you why the winning bidder bid so high for sure, but that coin was different from the normal type because Fortuna was holding a patera instead of a rudder and her headdress was unusual. It looked more like Genio than Fortuna. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 5:19 pm Certainly a novel depiction of Fortuna As you noticed ( and I didn't ! ) A patera and Turreted ? That is unusual Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 07:24 am Is this the same Obverse die as the Constantius as Augustus from above? If so then I am worried about the authenticity of that coin Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 09:39 am Different as it is 'big' Max A rather ordinary Trier (style) bare bust right portrait Every indication seeming to indicate that it is genuine But With modern advances in deception becoming so troublesome .......

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 10:12 am Martin is talking about these two; which do look like matches. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 12:10 pm They most certainly do ! And by the grace of Fortuna ....... Not yet paid for ! Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 1:43 pm Really impressive work! Here is a Severus II from Lugdunum (1st officina), a nummus/follis, 10.9 g, 305-06: FLavius VALerius SEVERVS NOBilissimus Cæsar / GENIO POP-VLI ROMANI Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 4:30 pm Good to see more coins posted I have more than a few to chose from but I picked 3 of my favorites During the second tetrarchy weights began their inevitable decline over the following decades I try to make my purchases based on 'looks' and take into consideration weight These 3 (all GENIO POPVLI ROMANI) made the grade ! Billon Follis Lugdunum IMP CONSTANTIVS AVG 28mm 10.29grams AD 305-6 Billon Follis London SEVERVS NOBILISSIMVS CAESAR 27-30mm 10.38 grams AD 305-6 Lastly representing the 3rd Tetrarchy (and still my reigning weight champion !) Billon Follis Heraklea FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES 28-9mm 12.41 grams AD 306-7 The last one a bit weak on the 'good looks' side But sometimes size really does matter ! Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 8:36 pm here's a Maximinus II I just won Maximinus II A.D. 308 26mm 6.1g GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES; laureate head right. VIRTVS MILITVM; camp-gate with portcullis surmounted by four turrets. In ex. MKΓ RIC VI Cyzicus 40 Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 11:09 pm That is a very interesting one of Maximinus II In AD 308 Max got demoted back to Caesar at the Conference of Carnuntum by Diocletian who also forced Maximianus to retired for the second time ! No mean feat that ! It left a lot of hurt feelings and didn't last very long This issue must be quite rare Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 06/14/2020 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/16/2020 7:22 pm Couple of nice tetrarchs stopped by for tea yesterday Nice couple of fella's I think they might stay awhile ..... Billon Follis Trier Divus Constantius issued by Constantine (3rd Tetrarchy) Obv. DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO Veiled laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantius right Rv. MEMORIAE FELIX Lighted altar with garlands and eagles standing on either side P TR in exergue 6.42 grams 26mm Trier AD 307-9 Sellers pic was so poor I thought it might be silvered It isn't but olive green is the next best thing Billon Follis Nicomedia Emperor Licinius Obv. IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS P F AVG Laureate bust of Licinius right Rv. IOVI CONSERVATORI Jupiter standing left holding Voctory on globe and scepter Eagle at feet Officina mark A in field S M N in exergue 3.96 grams 21-2mm Nicomedia AD 313-7 Last but not least Actually first tetrarchy ...... But who's counting ! Billon Follis Trier Diocletian My very first lefty of Diocletian I will simply leave it at that ..... 12.05 26-30mm (and a close challenger to my Constantine for heavyweight !) Again the sellers pics were a bit blurred and I took a gamble on this one Weak reverse is due a worn die Very common but the obverse is crisp ! Nicely silvered too which really came through with a gentle washing with solvent Report this Post to the Staff
