Lot 1183
Diva Paulina. Died before AD 235. Æ Sestertius (30.5mm, 22.22 g, 12h). Consecration issue. Rome mint. 2nd emission of Maximinus I, AD 236. DIVA PAVLINA, veiled and draped bust right / C ONSECR ATIO, S C across field, Paulina, raising right hand and holding scepter in left, seated left on peacock flying right. RIC IV 3; BMCRE 132 (Maximinus); Banti 1. Near EF, choice olive-green patina, areas of minor roughness, traces of earthen deposits. From the RAM Collection. Ex Triton I (2 December 1997), lot 1578.Although Paulina’s name is not mentioned by any of the ancient writers, the numismatic evidence is quite sufficient to prove that she was the wife of Maximinus I (235-238 AD) and probably the mother of the Caesar Maximus. A provincial bronze issue in her name from the Cilician mint of Anazarbus actually bears a date corresponding to the year 235/6 AD. Like her Roman issues this coin is posthumous, but it does accord her the imperial title of Augusta suggesting that she was still alive at the time of her husband`s accession but died shortly afterward. The single surviving stone inscription in which she is mentioned (CIL x. 5054) gives a fuller version of her name and titles, Diva Caecilia Paulina Pia Augusta.
