Diocletian, AE Follis, c.Later 308, Group III, Class V, Alexandria, Officina 3
D N DIOCLETIANO BAEATISS
Laureate bust right in imperial mantle, branch in right hand, mappa in left
PROVIDENT N N DEORVM
Providentia standing right, left hand raised, facing Quies standing left, upward vertical branch in right hand, scepter in left
G / XK in middle field
ALE in exergue
24mm x 25mm, 5.93g
RIC VI, -- (cf. RIC 80 for type)
Note: Both the obverse legend (with BAEATISS) and the revere legend (with NN) are unrecorded. The reverse legend PROVIDENT N N DEORVM is not listed in RIC for any issues. Possibly a very badly blundered PROVIDENTIA DEORVM as is the expected legend for the series with these field marks, or is an unlisted series in RIC.
