I was going through a page of foreign coins and I found this roman coin stuck between Austria and Hungary coins. Can someone help me ID it / value?

Thank you

    It appears to be a bronze (follis?) of Maximian as co-Augustus, eastern mint, possibly Antioch. 286-310 A.D.
    Personification of Genius reverse.

    I'll stick my neck out and say it looks to be about a $20-$30 coin but I'm no expert at that so continue to ask around.

    Great, thank you!!! at least I have a starting point. I had a bunch of coins from Europe but these were easy to figure out compared to this....

    It could be Galerius (r. in the East 305 - 311 AD). His cognomen was also Maximianus, so his inscriptions are sometimes misidentified as the earlier emperor Maximian. I'm away from my books right now, but will look up a more exact attribution later.

    It's this type, Maximinus II from Antioch, A.D. 310: https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=142344. @Swampboy is correct on value, in this grade it would be $15-20.

    Thank you. I found it it and a bunch of 1700s Hungary and Austria coins in a non-PVC album page that I bought a VERY long time ago. Trying to clean them my coin collection (hoard). Off to ebay it goes. Thank you for your help!!!!
