| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view typical of Phrygian provincial coinage of this period. The youthful imperial effigy is rendered with military dress, the pauldron and cuirass details visible beneath heavy green patination. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a dotted border, identifying the Caesar by his full titulature. The flan is irregularly struck, with the surfaces now exhibiting a dark olive-green patina consistent with long burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eucarpia was a minor Phrygian city whose coins under Maximinus Thrax carry particular weight given the circumstances of his reign. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces — the first emperor to rule without setting foot in Rome — and his tenure was consumed entirely by Rhine and Danube campaigns. Civic bronze like this filled the local exchange vacuum his administration had neither the interest nor the infrastructure to address from the center.
The Conventus of Apamea grouped Eucarpia among dozens of small Phrygian mints whose output during this period remains poorly systematized. VI#5609 is one of the scarcer attributions in the series.
