Commentary
Première émission pour Maximin II Auguste qui avait du se contenter du titre de Filius Augustorum après la conférence de Carnuntum. Ce type semble en fait plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
First issue for Maximin II Augustus, who had to be content with the title Filius Augustorum after the conference of Carnuntum. This type actually seems rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
MAXIMINUS II
(1/05/305-04/313)
Augustus
Maximin II, nephew of Galerius, became Caesar on May 1, 305. After the death of Constantius I Chlorus on July 25, 306, he did not become august and remained subordinate to Galerius. At the end of the conference of Carnuntum in November 308, it is only Filius Augustorum while Licinius I becomes august directly. It was not until the following year that Maximin II took the title of august. After Galerius' death in May 311, he was the oldest of the surviving tetrarchs. He falls out with Licinius and Constantine I, while he tries to get closer to Maxentius. After 312, Licinius turns against him and he is finally eliminated in 313.
