I have recently started a new sub collection of Maximianus coins with references to Hercules. I also have a small collection of ants from Lugdunum; so these two coins were welcome additions. They are also ex- Phil Peck (curator of the Chase Manhattan Bank's Money Museum in New York City) ; which are sometimes listed as Morris collection-- Morris was the brother of Phil; and sold his collection after the death of his brother.
