Hexassarion - Maximinus I and Maximus caesar [Φ]ΛΑYΙΟΠΟΛЄΙΤωΝ / [ЄΤ ΓΞΡ], Flaviopolis

Flaviopolis, a city in Cilicia Campestris, issued this joint coinage during the brief co-regency of Maximinus I and his son Maximus, who held the title of Caesar from 235 AD. The date formula ЄΤ ΓΞΡ — year 263 in the Flaviopolitan civic era — pins this issue to 235/236, the very first year of Maximinus's reign following his soldiers' violent coup against Severus Alexander. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces, making these civic bronzes the primary medium through which provincial cities acknowledged his authority.
