<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2631568, member: 44316&quot;]Long ago I wrote a web page on the portrait styles on denarii of Maximinus I, Thrax (AD 235-238).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/Maximinus/Maximinus.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/Maximinus/Maximinus.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/Maximinus/Maximinus.html</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, those same styles are on other denominations too. I had not included any, but now I have added a small sample of sestertii and even a provincial coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]579189[/ATTACH]</p><p>A large 34 mm &quot;sestertius&quot; struck at Ninica-Claudiopolis in Cilicia.</p><p>Maximinus / Maximus</p><p>IMP MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG / C IVL MAX MAXIMVS C C NI CLVA</p><p>The obverse has a star countermark on the neck and the reverse has a Victory countermark struck three times.</p><p>L&amp;K 1561 and A1561A. SNG Levante 620 variety.
