augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 5:37 pm I just added two more pages to my site "Introduction to Roman coins of the First Tetrarchy": http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/ which I announced here recently. That page is a place to begin if you want to learn about coinage during the reign of Diocletian and his co-rulers. The new pages are: a page about all the follis types of the First Tetrarchy http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarc...istypes.html and page about SACRA MONETA folles: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarc...AMONETA.html (which is the second most common type). There were already several pages devoted to the GENIO POPVLI ROMANI type, which is by far the most common type: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarc...nfolles.html Maximian, 286-305 "SACRA MONETA" type with Moneta standing left, holding balance and cornucopia. 28-26 mm. 9.91 grams. IMP MAXIMIANVS PF AVG SACRA MONETA AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR AQS RIC Aquileia 29b "c. 300" The tetrarchy had four rulers at once, making for interesting politics and coinage. Take a look at the main page: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/ and see if you get interested! Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3448 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 6:35 pm The Tetrarchy is an often overlooked period of imperial coinage I generally collect only the western mints London Trier Lyon Carthage Rome and Ticinum Diocletian Maximianus These two are my favorites and deserve close ups Maximianus 24-6mm 11.65 grams Mint mark reads either Retrograde P or Q followed by T Ticinum ? Diocletian 28-30mm 12.75 grams The mint mark reads P T Again .... Ticinum ? but the portrait virtually screams London ! (actually both portraits scream London ......) The diameter is large and the weight is a bit heavy To all appearances it is made of copper My personal theory is that it is an overstrike on a first century copper As Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 02/10/2020 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
