His Regnal name included "Imperator" - REALLY? How could a kid who was killed at 12 yo by the Praetorian Guard be dubbed an Imperator! That was to be EARNED in the Republic...

Can't wait to share my FDC Jotapianus. Oops. I don't have one. That said, it will be interesting to see if anyone has an example of one of these pretenders...

 

Nothing here. Did those guys even HAVE wives?

 

Eachother, I think. Weren't they the empires 1st polyamorous co-rulers?
I kid. I kid. Though I wouldn't have put it past the Greeks.

That said, if they did Wild winds has no recorded coins of their wives.
Here is the best Pacman they had:

Pacatian. ca AD 248-249. Becker forgery AR Antoninianus, 21mm, 5.55 g. 1772-1830. IMP TI CL MAR PACATIANVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / PAX AETERNAE, Pax standing left, holding branch and sceptre. Hill, Becker 205/204; Steinbüchel 74 (but with PF in rev. legend).

 

Well, that's one - pass the popcorn please. I'm waiting to see of anyone else has one of these guys before we jump to T. Decius.

 

I did a quick search on CT; no one has posted any of these three... @GregH would be the likely Dude to have them, however, he did not post them.

I suggest we move on.

WILDWINDS examples:

Pacatian



Iopotian


Sponsianus
Wildwinds has no examples.

Here's a Trajan Decius antoninianus. The portrait is very detailed and the reverse very finely struck. Of course, we all know that Decius was the first Roman emperor to die on the field against one of the empire's foes, in this case the Goths.

During his short reign the empire's problems mounted and we move into the time frame where the crisis of the 3rd century indeed became acute, socially, economically, militarily, and politically.

The reverse of the coin portrays Abundantia, a goddess that was the divine personification of abundance and prosperity. She was among the embodiments of virtues in religious propaganda that cast the emperor as the ensurer of 'Golden Age' conditions.

For some reason, I always liked your first Etruscilla... and I see it is a double-strike! Nice!
