Maximinus lost control of the Rome mint when the Gordians were proclaimed emperors at Rome in the beginning of April, 238. BMC suggests the mint had been preparing even before that by not issuing many coins in the name of Maximinus in 238. TRP III is scarce (11 in BMC hoards, among 1855 denarii of Maximinus, page 88). TRP IIII is rare (only 1 of 1855 in BMC hoards).</p><p><br /></p><p>For a discussion of his portraits and coinage, see:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Maximinus/Maximinus.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Maximinus/Maximinus.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Maximinus/Maximinus.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
