Maximinus II, also known as Maximinus Daia, was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 310 to 313 AD. He was part of the Tetrarchy, a system established by Diocletian to manage the vast Roman Empire. Maximinus II was known for his military background and his role in the eastern provinces, where he sought to expand Roman influence. During his reign, Maximinus II was involved in conflicts with rival emperors, particularly Licinius and Constantine the Great. His rule was marked by religious persecution, especially against Christians, as he adhered to the traditional Roman pagan beliefs. Maximinus II's reign ended when he was defeated by Licinius in 313 AD.
