Maximianus CONSERVATOR AVGG from Siscia

[Victor]

This bust type is not listed in RIC, though it is my second example; however this one is easily the best of the two.

[Heliodromus]

Interesting bust type - don't think I've seen one of those before!

[Victor]

it's the third one I have seen and second example that I have.

[Lech Stępniewski]

Interesting bust type - don't think I've seen one of those before!

Was in use also after Reform.

[Heliodromus]

Interesting ... I wonder why this bust type then seems to not have been used after this ?
