OBVERSE	IMPCGALVALMAXIMIANVSPFAVG [IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VIRTVTI-E-XERCITI [VIRTVTI EXERCITI]; Virtus [actually Mars] advancing r., r. holding transverse spear, trophy over l. shoulder. Crescent in right field. HTB in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Maximinus. However, see footnote 5 on p. 538: "No issues are recorded for Galerius (though VG. 17 suggests one) or Licinius". But note that Voetter (p. 113, no. 17) gives no officina for Galerius' issue. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 538. Coin should be listed before HERACLEA 57.
