*PC* Maximianus, Left Facing Military Bust

 MAXIMIANUS, 2nd REIGN, FOLLIS

Maximianus, 2nd Reign ( 306 - 308 )
Obverse: IMP C MAXIMIANUS P F AUG, Helmeted bust left holding
spear and shield.
Reverse: FIDES MILITUM AUGG ET CAESS NN, Fides standing holding
standard in each hand.  In exurge AQS, Aquileia mint No.2
Officina.

Comments:  26mm, RIC 77a.  Nice coin in hand, worn but all devices present.

This is an interesting coin in that aside from the obverse legend,
it is identical to a follis issued in the same mint by Severus II
(Sear 3745)

Given the turbulence of these times, I suspect the mint officials
upon hearing of Severus' defeat by Maximianus (Spring 307) simply
changed the emporer's name and kept the same design until further
instruction.  This would put the date of issue for this coin as
late spring 307 AD.
