RIC VI, ANTIOCHIA [before 120], MAXIMINUS, UNLISTED ISSUE [IOVIO PROPAGAT ORBIS TERRARVM]

OBVERSE	MAXIMINVS-NOBCAES [MAXIMINVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., half-length, in imperial mantle, holding in both hands scroll (or mappa?).
REVERSE	IOVIOPROPAGAT-ORBISTERRARVM [IOVIO PROPAGAT ORBIS TERRARVM]; Maximinus, togate, stg. r., r. holding Victory. ς (retrograde) in left field, altar in right field. ANT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Similar to ANTIOCHIA 134 (which also has retrograde ς as officina letter) except for the m.m. appropriate for Group IV, i.e. without star over altar. But note that star could be obliterated (clogged die?) and this is actually ANTIOCHIA 134. Note also that bust type for ANTIOCHIA 134 is inaccurately described in RIC (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 635. Otherwise, coin should be listed before ANTIOCHIA 120.
