<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7655345, member: 86498"]Maximinus I Thrax Ar Denarius 235-236 AD Obv Bust right laureate draped seen from back Rv Salus seated left. RIC 14 3.22 grms 18 mm Photo by w. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1316094[/ATTACH]He does not appear to have made it to the city of Rome for his entire reign thus creating a problem for the die cutters at the mint of Rome as they seem to have no prototype to create a portrait of their new emperor. Initially they employed an image that looked very much like a more mature version of Severus Alexander. However over time this image mutated as they got better information on the appearance of their emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
