| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Maximus (Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar) facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Maximus as Caesar, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the effigy in the field, partially legible through the encrustation, reading Γ ΙΟΥ ΟΥ ΜΑΞΙΜΟ Κ distributed around the bust. The style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage struck under the Conventus of Apamea in Syria during the reign of Maximinus Thrax. |
