RIC VI, ALEXANDRIA [before 134a], MAXIMINUS, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND

  

OBVERSE

GALVALMAXIMINVSNOBCAES [GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

BONOGENIOPII-IMPERATORIS [BONO GENIO PII IMPERATORIS]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Crescent over K in left field and Α over P in right field. ALE in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for the Group V (p. 681). The coin struck for Maximinus as Caesar suggests that this issue was started before the death of Galerius and partially belongs to the Group IV. But note also a rather poor style: an ancient imitation could not be excluded. Coin should be listed before ALEXANDRIA 134b.

NOTES

Weight 7.8 g; diameter 26 mm. From the Robert Bernobich Collection.
