| Additional information |
Apollonia ad Rhyndacum, a modest Mysian city on the river of the same name, struck bronze issues under Maximinus — almost certainly Maximinus Thrax, whose reign from 235–238 AD was marked by near-constant military campaigning and financial predation of provincial civic treasuries. Many cities under the Cyzicus conventus minted heavily during his reign, partly because imperial demands for funds pushed local economies into unusual activity. This particular type, catalogued under RPC VI#4172, falls within a provisional phase of that volume where attributions remain subject to revision.
