<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2429745, member: 42773&quot;]Not much is known of Flavius Hanniballianus - he was the son of Delmatius and therefore nephew of Constantine I. Han married Constantine&#039;s daughter (and therefore his cousin) Constantina in 335.</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine elevated him to Rex Regum et Ponticarum Gentium, High King of the Pontic Peoples, hence the obverse inscription HANNIBALLIANO REGI. But Constantine died in 337 and his Persian campaign never transpired.</p><p><br /></p><p>Upon Constantine&#039;s death, his sons purged the family of closest relatives, to eliminate any threats to the throne. Delmatius and Hanniballianus perished in that purge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only one type was minted for H, with reverse of Euphrates reclining. This coin is rough and scrappy, but I think it&#039;s got great detail and character...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]504700[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Post him it you&#039;ve got him. Delmatius works too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
