<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2108415, member: 38412&quot;]Here&#039;s a similar coin. I received it yesterday but didn&#039;t clean it yet at all. The officina is&nbsp; Z . It&#039;s likely that these anonymous coins were struck under Emperor Maximinus II. He was secretly approving the striking of &quot;Pagan&quot; coins. It&#039;s true that under the Constantinian Dynasty Christianism was widespread in the Roman Empire, but many people , officials and even Co-Emperors were still devoted to the old mythological religions, namely the Greek and Roman ones. Remember how many Emperors did Constantine defeated and ordered to death, just because they had turned against&nbsp; the Christians? Just to name Licinius and maybe Maxentius who always struck coins with goddesses Roma and Nike in temples.&nbsp; Maximinus II approved the striking of the following or above coins but dared not show his belief , by fear of Constantine.[ATTACH=full]397993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397994[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
