Title: Re: Roman Coin for ID Post by: probono on July 14, 2017, 08:30:20 AM I struggled to see the PTR in the mint mark - and I was correct - it should be II T R - so the second mint workshop, but as you said from Trier:-
Maximianus AE Follis. 302-303 AD. Trier. Obv: IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev: GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI S-F, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera and cornucopiae, S-F across fields. Mintmark IITR. Title: Re: Roman Coin for ID Post by: celticspikey on July 14, 2017, 01:31:42 PM Cracking coin Rob, has it been rubbed by any chance or is that how it was dug up. ;)
