| Additional information |
Maximinus Daia was appointed Caesar under the Tetrarchic system in 305 AD when Diocletian and Maximian abdicated, though he deeply resented being passed over for the rank of Augustus in favor of Severus and Galerius. The Herculian divine association invoked on this issue was politically loaded — Maximinus aligned himself with the Herculian dynasty of Maximian rather than the Jovian line of Diocletian, a distinction that carried real factional weight during the fragmenting years of the Tetrarchy. Trier, as the western imperial mint, was producing coinage for rulers who would never set foot there.
