Description: | Worn Roman nummus of Maximinus II. The obverse of the coin is slightly worn and depicts a right facing laureate bust surrounded by the legend IMP MAXIMINVS PF AVG. The reverse of the coin has a higher degree of wear, and depicts Genius standing with a corn measure on his head holding a cornucopia. The legend is partially worn, and would have originally read CENIO POP ROM. The mint mark is TR, with the mint location being Trier. The reverse type dates the coin to 294 to 318AD. The coin was struck in copper alloy, and the surface now has a dull brown patina with some red patches. The coin measures 22.95mm in diameter and is 1.83mm thick. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
