Diocletian GPR from Alexandria issued by Domitianus
« on: December 03, 2021, 09:00:47 AM »

After more than a year, I got an example for Diocletian (and had to pay up a bit) to complete my set of these coins issue by Domitius Domitianus. He struck coins for himself and Diocletian, Maximianus, Constantius I and Galerius.

I have a page on this topic

Even though I already had a Diocletian example, I just picked up this one. The details aren't as sharp as my other example, but it has a smoother surface.
