| Additional information |
Mauricius Tiberius inherited an empire financially gutted by his predecessor Tiberius II, who had depleted the treasury through lavish donatives and tax remissions. The Antioch mint — operating as one of the eastern provincial workshops — was critical to supplying coinage for the Danubian and Persian frontier campaigns that defined nearly the entire reign. Antioch itself fell to Persian forces in 611, a decade after Mauricius was deposed and executed by Phocas, effectively ending regular production at that workshop for a generation.
