AR23 - Maximinus L Γ

Maximinus Thrax never visited Egypt. His reign was administered from a distance, and the Alexandrian mint continued issuing tetradrachms in his name largely as a formality of imperial acknowledgment — the province's coinage cycle running on its own bureaucratic rhythm regardless of who held power in Rome. This piece dates to his second regnal year, the L Γ designation confirming year three of his reign by the Egyptian calendar reckoning from his accession in 235 AD.

He was dead within three years, killed by his own troops outside Aquileia in 238.
