| Lot description: Divus Maximianus, died 310. 1/4 Follis (Bronze, 15 mm, 2.46 g, 6 h), Rome, struck under Constantine I, 317-318. DIVO MAXIMIANO SEN FORT IMP Laureate and veiled head of Divus Maximianus to right. Rev. MEMORIAE AETERNAE / R P Eagle standing front, wings spread and head turned to left. RIC 110. Hammered edges and somewhat corroded, otherwise, about very fine. From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969. The edge of this small memorial coin has been hammered flat to form a flange on both sides of the coin, giving it the shape of a contorniate. Perhaps it was used as a gaming piece, but unless such 'mini-contorniates' are found in a gaming context, we can only speculate on its use. Starting price: 50 CHF |  |
