UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists only similar issue with reverse legend SECVRITAS AVGG, not known for Maximinus (p. 140). Also obverse legend IMP MAXIMINVS P AVG is not listed for Group IV (p. 138). General note about Securitas Augg issue from p. 122: This type "express [...] stability in the whole imperial administration, to which Securitas Augg (for Constantine and Licinius) now pointed. Maximinus' absence from this last issue should indicate that it was struck after his relations with his colleagues in Europe had deteriorated to the point of almost open hostility. Date, late 312 to mid-313". Also note that RBC lists only legend SECVRITAS AVGG NN - for all three Augusti! - (p. 31, number 240), although coin shown on plate 14 has undoubtly reverse legend SECVRITAS AVGG. Coin (and the whole issue) should be listed before LONDINIUM 275.
