Maximinus Thrax never set foot in Egypt. He ruled the province entirely through prefects, and Alexandria's mint responded to his reign with the usual bureaucratic compliance — tetradrachms struck to formula, cycling through regnal years with little variation. This piece, dated to his third year (L Γ), belongs to a reign that ended violently in 238 AD when his own soldiers killed him outside Aquileia after a failed siege, making his Egyptian coinage a closed series of just three years.
