Maximinus Thrax never visited the eastern provinces he nominally controlled, and Thessalonica's mint operated through his reign largely on administrative inertia — local magistrates continued issuing bronzes under his name while he campaigned relentlessly along the Rhine and Danube frontiers. His reign ended when the Senate declared him a public enemy in 238, the Year of the Six Emperors, after troops of the II Parthica murdered him outside Aquileia. Provincial issues from Thessalonica under Maximinus are relatively scarce compared to his Antiochene output.
