Abstract

The Roman Imperial coins published here were recorded during studies in the classical coins preserved in the collection of the Charles University and in the collection of the Česká Lípa Museum. The first described coin has been attributed as a sestertius produced under Maximinus I Thrax – after withdrawing from circulation, the coin was secondarily modiefied via cutting the edges which created its current circular shape.

The second described coin has been attributed as a reduced follis produced under Maximinus Daia struck in the third workshop of the Cyzicus mint – it is a hybrid coin struck from the reverse die of 308–309 and the obverse die of the period after May 310. The third specimen belongs to the collection of the classical coins in the Česká Lípa Museum.

It has been attributed as an issue produced under Claudius II Gothicus and classified after Bland and Burnett (1988) under coins struck in Siscia in 268, issues 1a).
