    Ummm curious? ...

    => is my choice that difficult, or is it so simple that nobody wants to step-up and guess?

    Ahahaha => yup


    Wow, that Mat dude is a clever bear, eh?!! (well done) ...

    Oh, and good follow-up, iamtiberius ...
    NOTE => I am currently at work, but I will definitely send-out my coin photos and full description later-on (sorry if my choice was a bit too easy ... ummm, or maybe you coin-heads are merely a bit too good at this game?)
    Thanks, Eng

    So what happens then when someone is right and so is someone else. I got the emperor while tiberius got the area?

    I would have guessed Jovian but we just had him.
    (and worth the $45, if I were not on the wagon)

    Clue time:

    Refused to wear the insignia of the Pontifex Maximus
     
  19. I feel since I genuinely didn't know this little bit of history, that I shouldn't answer.

    That's clue makes it easy and, truly was my next guess. Now I have to wait till tomorrow or watch someone else get it right. Darn!:mad:
