| Additional information |
Maximinus Thrax never visited the eastern provinces — his entire reign was consumed by campaigns on the Rhine and Danube frontiers — yet cities like Magnesia ad Maeandrum continued issuing bronze coinage in his name as a matter of civic obligation and imperial loyalty signaling. The mint at Magnesia was prolific under the Severan dynasty and its immediate successors, operating within the Milesian conventus as one of dozens of semi-autonomous civic mints whose output was purely local in circulation.
Maximinus was the first emperor never to set foot in Rome during his reign, assassinated in 238 — the Year of the Six Emperors — by his own troops outside Aquileia.
