RIC VI, TREVERI 516b, MAXIMIAN HERCULIUS, REVERSE VARIETY

OBVERSE	IMPMAXIMIANVSPFAVG [IMP MAXIMIANVS P F AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	GENIOPOPV-LIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., head towered, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae. Altar in field to l. of Genius. IITR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	REVERSE VARIETY. Specimen similar to TREVERI 516b except for altar to l. instead of S|F letters in fields. Cf. footnote 3 to TREVERI 511 on p. 196: "Altar in field to l. of Genius: style rough: possibly unorthodox". Note also that the distinction between modius and turreted crown "is often very hard to make" (footnote 1 on p. 196). May be regarded as an ancient imitation. If Genius has modius on head, coin should be listed after TREVERI 504.
