RIC VI, HERACLEA 74, MAXIMINUS, UNLISTED ISSUE, OFFICINA Î

OBVERSE	IMPCGALVALMAXIMINVSPFAVG [IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	IOVICONS-ERVTORI [IOVI CONSERVTORI] (sic!); Jupiter stg. facing, head l., chlamys hanging behind, r. holding Victory on globe, l. leaning on sceptre. Î (epsilon) in right field. SMHT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists only similar issue with legend IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG. Here is also no eagle at l. and chlamys is hanging behind (not just from l. shoulder) (p. 541). General note from p. 528: "This issue falls into two sections, before and after Maximinus' capture of Heraclea. In the first, Iovi Conservatori Avgg continues for all three rulers - all with 'mature' legends: the coins are not uncommon [...] Date, 313". Although this type exists also for Licinius, it probably belongs to the second section (after Maximinus' capture of Heraclea) which explains presence of Daia's Iovi type on the reverse. Coin should be listed after HERACLEA 77 (p. 542).
