[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4562884, member: 80783"]Actually it was my mistake because I just found out that this book is correctly cited as "MIR" as it is part of a series called "Moneta Imperii Romani" (other volumes deal with Tiberius and Caligula, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius to Commodus, Valerian and Gallienus, and Aurelian respectively. Alram / MIR on plate 32, Nr. 58 illustrates a specimen from the same obverse die as your coin (Cahn 60/1928, 1678), identifies the portrait as belonging to Maximinus´ "field portrait" type, and points out that Maximinus´ coins from Tarsus and those from Anazarbus were obviously struck at the same mint. According to him, the city emissions almost exclusively can be dated into the first half of Maximinus´reign, i.e. the years 235/236. Neat portrait on your Denarius! Your coin is MIR 34-3 B, 1st part of 3rd emission of Maximinus, 01.01.-August 236, 59 specimens. Those are some absolutely stunning Sestertii and their types perfectly complement mine :-). Let me know if you need references or specimen numbers from MIR or Banti for them.[/QUOTE]
