Maximus was the son of Maximinus and Paulina. Indolent by nature but handsome Maximus was raised to Caesar shortly after his father became emperor. Although he accompanied his father on his campaigns Maximus preferred the luxury of Rome to a life in the military. He was murdered along with his father upon their return to Italy in AD 238.
