I often think I should keep these photos of the best scenes and frame them for a hallway but I never do. Maxentius AE Follis Aquileia, late Summer 307. Obv. IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG, Laureate head right. Rev. CONSERV VRB SVAE, Roma seated left on shield in tetrastyle temple, right handing globe to Maxentius (in military dress, stading right), left holding sceptre; seated captive between; Victories as acroteria; she-wolf and twins in pediment; RIC VI Aquileia 113. 27 mm, 6.24 grams Report this Post to the Staff

(On another note "facetious" has every vowel in alphabetical order and I have looked for others but spent a life not finding a word to match this accomplishment!) Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think they meant this as the world, and a prize urn or trophy or wreath is not what is being handed off. So what is a globe to these people to be given by Gods to emperors? Just a neat shape?
