Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/19/2020 08:49 am The coin on the left, apart from recognising the reverse features a representation of Romulus and Remus, I have no idea. The coin on the right: I'm reading 'Maximianus'? The reverse appears to read 'PAX AUGG'. Is this correct? Thank you all. Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 06/19/2020 09:42 am The left one is Constantine the Great, URBS ROMA, minted in Lyons/Lugdunum 330-334. On the right one you are reading the legends correctly. The obverse reads IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG. Report this Post to the Staff

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/21/2020 2:08 pm Thank you Victor. Yet another of my Roman coins originating in France. I'm finding all this information most interesting and something of a fascinating diversion from the English early milled which is my area of specialist knowledge. I'll post some more this week.

TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 06/21/2020 4:04 pm The Maximianus coin I believe is: An Antoninianus of MAXIMIANUS 286-305 3.5 grams Obv; IMPMAXIMIANVSPAVG Radiate Cuir Right. Rev; PAX AVGG. PAX standing holding victory and transverse sceptre. RIC V; 398 LUGDUNUM. YEAR 289-293 Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/21/2020 4:15 pm Quote: RIC V; 398 LUGDUNUM. YEAR 289-293 It's close, but note that the obverse legend is different. The coin you post is IMP MAXIMIANVS P AVG while Hogarth's is IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG; which makes it RIC 399, struck (according to RIC) A.D. 290-294. I don't always give RIC numbers, because if you don't have the catalogue, what is the point? My first decade or so, I was blissfully unaware of RIC, I used the old Sear single volume Roman Coins and Their Values. Edited by Victor 06/21/2020 4:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
