haha... yes, I forget... it’s Friday, I have wine and am ornery right now. Back to the coins.
You’ve made this statement several times recently. Why exactly do you believe that statement and what makes an emperor “best”? I would think...
If there ever was a time for the “best answer” punch... this is it. I’m gonna use that one.
A few on my phone... I don’t have any Carinus handy but have a few of those too. [ATTACH] Carus - Alexandria - Emmett 3996 [ATTACH] Numerian -...
I ran into the same information when I was researching mine! Although at one time all of the variations of these may have had limited...
Here's another from Alexandria: [ATTACH] Constantius Gallus - Alexandria - RIC VIII 74
Great coins everyone. Here's another Trebonianus Gallus. [ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus - Antioch - RIC IV 79
