Aanvullende informatie

Maximinus II's SOLI INVICTO coinage from Antioch falls in the final, desperate phase of his reign — a period when he was simultaneously fighting Licinius in the east and attempting to legitimize his rule through aggressive promotion of traditional Roman solar cult against the rising Christian faction backed by Constantine. The Antioch mint was his home ground, and these bronzes were struck in considerable numbers as propaganda tools as much as currency.

He was dead within months of this issue, defeated at the Battle of Tzirallum in April 313 and dead by summer of the same year.
