maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 7:18 pm I bought a whole batch of miscellaneous coins in the past week or so. This is one of the better ones. This is one of those coins where the image on the reverse is uncertain. The reverse title is VIRTVS but the figure is certainly male and thus isn't Virtus. As such the references call the figure Soldier/Mars as it is not possible to know who is being depicted. This is a scarce coin in decent condition with scattered silvering still evident. Maximianus Herculius, Antoninianus Obv:â€" IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev:â€" VIRTVS AVGG, Soldier standing left holding olive-branch and spear, beside him shield Minted in Lugdunum (//C). Emission 7, Officina 3. Spring A.D. 290 A.D. 291 Reference:â€" Cohen 555. Bastien XI 424 (8 examples cited). RIC V Pt 2 Lugdunum 447 Martin Report this Post to the Staff
