Æ26 - Maximinus COL AVG TR (A)

Maximinus Thrax never visited Alexandria Troas, yet the city struck bronze in his name throughout his three-year reign — a reign built entirely on military usurpation, the first emperor to seize power without any prior senatorial career. The colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas during this period falls within the conventus of Adramyteum, a Roman administrative grouping that coordinated civic life across the Troad region.

VI#4056 is among the less frequently encountered Maximinus types from this mint, consistent with the abbreviated production window his reign allowed.
