[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4560139, member: 80783"]Thank you very much for your kind comments and for showing your Paulinas! Yesterday I was able to acquire a copy of Michael Alram´s study "Die Münzprägung des Kaisers Maximinus I Thrax" (MIR Vol.27) so I can try to date your undated coins: I would date your coin into the 4th emission of Maximinus, 2nd half of 236 aD, or even later, due to the portrait style which is modelled after Maximus´ triumphal portrait. Alram goes so far as suggesting that all portraits of Paulina and Maximus were cut by the same engraver. Neat! Your Paulina is 4th emisson or later (after August 236), see above. Maximinus is 1st phase of 3rd emission (01.01.236- ca. August 236) Maximus is most likely 4th emission (ca.October-31.12.236), as the obverse die displays an intermediate portrait style reminiscent of his first ("field") style. What a beauty! I really like the facing Peacock reverse, too! I have one on a Sestertius of Diva Mariniana, but for Paulina it only appears on Denarii. According to Alram, this type may be allocated to the first emission of Paulina (late phase 1 of 3rd emission of Maximunus) which is confirmed by the portrait style of your coin which still shows the influence of the ("field") portrait style (with rather soft jaw and straight nose), the first style of Maximus and second style of Maximinus (after the "consular" style) rather than Maximus second and Maximinus third ("triumphal") style. Therefore I would date your coin ca. July/August of 236 aD.[/QUOTE]
