Original Text :
quare timentes milites, quorum adfectus in Albano monte erant, medio forte die, cum a proelio quiesceretur, et Maximinum et filium eius in tentorio positos occiderunt eorumque capita praefixa contis Aquileiensibus demonstrarunt. in oppido igitur vicino statim Maximini statuae atque imagines depositae sunt, et eius praefectus praetorii occisus est cum amicis clarioribus. missa etiam Romam capita sunt eorum.
Translation :
And so some of the soldiers, whose wives and children were on the Alban Mountain, becoming fearful, in the middle of the day, when they rested from the fighting, slew Maximinus and his son as they lay in their tent,and putting their heads on poles, showed them to the citizens of Aquileia. And thereupon in the neighbouring town the statues and portraits of Maximinus were immediately thrown down and his prefect of the guard, together with his more notable friends, were slain. Their heads were sent to Rome.
