Amisus had long enjoyed a degree of civic autonomy unusual for a Pontic city under Roman rule, a privilege rooted in its earlier status as a free city under the late Republic — a concession Lucullus and later Caesar had both upheld. The city continued issuing bronze civic coinage well into the third century, even as the broader Roman provincial bronze system was beginning to collapse under the fiscal pressures of the soldier-emperors.
Maximinus Thrax never visited the eastern provinces; his brief reign was consumed entirely by campaigns on the Rhine and Danube frontiers before his murder outside Aquileia in 238.
