This volume is arranged chronologically by issuer, mint, denomination, chronologically within denomination, then alphabetically by reverse legend.Note: The following table was created from the information in RIC V, Part II and David Vagi's "Coinage and History of the Roman Empire" Volumes I and II
Note: Proculus does not have any coins listed in RIC V, Part II, but is discussed as a co-usurper in Gaul with Bonosus. On page 579 of RIC, it is noted that 'of Proculus, no genuine coin is known' and the coins of Bonosus 'deserve consideration'. On page 376 in Volume I (History) of Vagi, he states "While Probus was on the opposite side of the Roman world (near the border of Syria), the Gauls rebelled, hailing two generals, Titus Aelius Proculus and Quintus Bonosus, as joint emperors at Cologne. It is not certain whether their revolts began jointly, but there is little doubt that they soon joined forces". Vagi goes on to note the coinage of Proculus was unknown until very recently and the single known specimen is accepted by many numismatists as genuine, where the coinage of Bonosus is generally dismissed as altered or are misdescribed "barbarous radiates".
