RIC VI, ANTIOCHIA 132a, MAXIMINUS, OFFICINA Z [CONFIRMATION]

OBVERSE	GALVALMAXIMINVSNOBCAES [GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	GENIOCA-ESARIS* [GENIO CAESARIS*]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Star and altar in left field, Z in right field. ANT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CONFIRMATION]. RIC lists all ten officinae (A-I). However, officinae B-Δ, ς-H and I are listed after VG, i.e. Voetter, and in footnote 2 on p. 636 Sutherland adds: "It seems highly doubtful if all the officinae recorded in VG. actually struck". Therefore only officinae A, Є and Є/Δ should be treated as undoubtedly attested in RIC. See also: ANTIOCHIA 132a, MAXIMINUS, OFFICINA Γ [CONFIRMATION]
