Italy: Icon of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus (217/220-238), Caesar of the Roman Empire, from the book Icones imperatorvm romanorvm (Icons of Roman Emperors), Antwerp, c. 1645

Gaius Julius Verus Maximus (217/220-238), sometimes known incorrectly as Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus or Maximinus the Younger, was the son of Thraco-Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax. Maximus was appointed as Caesar in 236, but held little real power until he was murdered alongside his father in 238 by the Praetorian Guard, during the Siege of Aquileia.
