| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Tyche of Antioch seated facing on rocky ground, wearing a turreted crown and veil, holding stalks of grain in her right hand. Beneath her, the river-god Orontes is depicted swimming leftward, personifying the river upon which Antioch was founded. The legend GENIO ANTIOCHENI appears in the field, invoking the protective genius of the city of Antioch. The composition is rendered in the compact, schematic style characteristic of late Roman bronze coinage of the Tetrarchic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximinus II's GENIO ANTIOCHENI issues belong to the chaotic final phase of the Tetrarchy, produced while he controlled the Eastern empire in open defiance of the Edict of Milan. After Constantine and Licinius issued their toleration agreement in 313, Maximinus pressed on with persecution of Christians in his territories — these coins were struck during precisely that standoff. He was dead within months, defeated by Licinius at the Battle of Tzirallum in April 313, after which he fled east and died at Tarsus, likely by suicide or poison.
