Notes:
All of the reference material for Constantine indicates that he stopped striking coins in the name of Galerius and Maximinus II in 307 in connection with his new alliance with Maximianus and Maxentius, and ignored the Carnuntum events until 310, when he put down Maximianus and broke with Maxentius. At that time, he began striking coins for Maximinus II and Licinius, but never resumed striking them for Galerius. No coins struck in the name of Galerius are noted in RIC for any time after 307. So this coin would be extraordinary, in that it clearly sits in an issue that was struck no earlier than 310. Unlike many Galerius coins, there is no possibility of confusing this with a coin from Maximianus.
