    Apparently there was an emperor named Carus; reign 282-283 and his two sons appointed as caesar's under him Numerian; reign 283–284 & Carinus reign; 283–285 both whom became Emperor's themselves for a very short time as noted above...

    I first stumbled upon the name of Numerian:
    (Photos from Wikipedia)

    and noticed he produced very few coins, I believe but not sure? he only had time to get one mint going in his name at Cyzicus? Assuming that, I suppose there are not to many coins of Numerian floating around..??
    If anyone has some we would love to see some actual examples!
    and here more about him....
    Also if you have coins of his Father Carus, & brother Carinus I would enjoy reviewing those also...!

    I have found that military busts from this dynasty are scarce

    Imperial Mantled busts are rare

    I only have Alexandrian tets from these rulers and no imperial coins from them.
