Maximian, second reign, with a long legend.

I care about the sequence of issues under the tetrarchy and immediately thereafter, and this coin illustates a point.

Turkoman Figural Bronze


Four uncommon types. I was inspired to buy them because I am writing a web page on the types not in Spengler and Sayles, volumes 1 and 2. It will have minimal information about all the types that would have been in volume 3 which did not appear because Spengler took ill and died.  Details are here:
