Diocletian. Antoninianus; Diocletian; 284-305 AD, Rome, Antoninianus, 3.50g. RIC-167 (C), C-289 (Paris, 4 Fr.). Obv: IMP DIOCLE - TIANVS AVG Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed r. Rx: IOVI - FVLGERATOR[I] around, XXIG in exergue (officina 3), Jupiter stepping l., looking back, about to hurl thunderbolt, eagle standing at his feet. Though this interesting type was valued at only 4 francs by Cohen, was called "common" by RIC, and was priced very moderately by Sear-12673, it actually seems to be quite rare, since CoinArchives and the Berk photofile contain not a single specimen. Apart from ours, the only actual specimen we came across was in the Mazzini Collection, pl. LXXIII, 289. However according to Pink\'s Gerin Catalogue of 1921, p. 212, n?. 41, the Gerin Collection contained specimens from three different officinae, not only officina G like ours but also officinae B and ?.
