| Additional information |
Maximinus Thrax never visited the eastern provinces — he spent his entire reign campaigning on the Rhine and Danube frontiers, making the civic coinage struck in his name across Asia Minor the primary medium through which his image circulated locally. The magistrate name on this issue, Aurелios Moschion, held the office of grammateus, a civic secretary responsible for authorizing the mint's output at Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The "dis" notation indicates he held the post twice — a distinction worth recording on the die.
