<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8094648, member: 24754&quot;]The subject of this thread is tangentially related to questions that I proposed recently in a thread called &quot;Who were Emperors and who are Not&quot;. This is a question that I personally find interesting, but unfortunately didn&#039;t garner much attention when posed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a completionist at heart, so I have a strong desire to obtain an example coin of every person for which Roman coins were issued over my time period of interest. Unfortunately, budgetary considerations make this goal unrealistic, so I have to whittle the list down significantly. Aside from obvious cost considerations, I do most of the whittling based on how interesting the person&#039;s story is to tell. After all, telling the stories to others while viewing the coins is the primary enjoyment that I get out of owning them in the first place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Flavius Victor&#039;s story would amount to: &quot;Was named co-emperor by his father, who managed to usurp power for a couple of years, then died&quot;. Hence, he was cut from the list.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also kept myself entertained for a while by making a list of &quot;Emperors that were actually emperors&quot;, based on criteria by which I&#039;d define that type of thing. Poor old Victor didn&#039;t make that list either. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t intended to take anything away from the siliqua though. That is a fantastic, rare coin that I wouldn&#039;t kick out of my collection for eating crackers! Maybe my budgetary considerations will change someday, and then I can get them all! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
