Title: Re: Id please probono Post by: probono on April 01, 2014, 09:26:07 PM Ok.
Due to corrosion there is a little difficulty in pinning it down precisely. So - It's a follis - looks like a reduced follis, I think the mint mark is PLC which would be Lyon (lugdunum). The reverse legend should be GENIO POP ROMANI, but it's a little hard to see the POP bit - the reverse figure is the genus of the roman people holding a patera over an altar. The reverse could be either Galerius (Maximianus) or Maximinus II (also a Galerius Valerius) - the problem with the tetrarchy is that they've all got very similar names....... Anyway it dates from c. 300AD If that helps :) Title: Re: Id please probono Post by: Kent on April 22, 2014, 03:16:30 PM Well found
