Nice! Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed the copious pics. Nothing annoys me more than an article about a fascinating and important...
It's a "whatever" pile-on, same as always. :)
And this Severus Alexander, togate emperor sacrificing. This coin also has a minting anomaly - what appears to be a die chip on his forehead. Or...
Since Providentia was a personification of various virtues, with no real mythology of her own, she was rather the Barbie Doll of the Roman...

Yeah, you can do that because you're Cuban. I'm pretty sure I'd be in trouble if I walked into a room full of Cubans and started telling Cuban jokes.

Gotta be politically correct these days. But reading through his history, it certainly does sound like he was suffering from paranoid...
