Additional information

Scepsis was a minor inland city of the Troad whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards, and issues under Maximinus Thrax are accordingly rare. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces — he spent his entire reign campaigning on the Rhine and Danube frontiers before his troops murdered him outside Aquileia in 238. The city struck in his name regardless, as provincial loyalty (or political prudence) demanded.
