Æ33 - Maximinus Γ ΙΟΥΛ ΟΥΗ ΜΑΞΙΜΟϹ Κ ΠΡΟΥϹΙΕΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΥΠΙΩ

Prusias ad Hypium struck this issue under Maximinus Thrax, whose reign was itself a political rupture — the first emperor to rise from the ranks without senatorial background, his accession in 235 AD triggered a constitutional crisis that prefigured the chaos of the third century. Provincial bronzes from Bithynian cities during his three-year reign are notably scarce; the Senate's hostility translated into thin documentary and numismatic survival alike.

The co-regency formula naming Maximus as Caesar alongside his father appears on a narrow window of provincial issues before Maximus was killed by his own troops at Aquileia in 238.
