<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8104295, member: 19463&quot;]Wikipedia quotes an interesting idea that there were more coins for Victor than for his father Magnus Maximus.&nbsp; my observations do not support this.&nbsp; It is footnoted to a PhD dissertation turned book </p><p>McEvoy, Meaghan A. (2013). <i>Child Emperor Rule in the Late Roman West, AD 367-455</i></p><p>that is available in hardback on Amazon for more than the amount of my interest in the subject.&nbsp; However, there are several very long reviews on Amazon that would talk me out of the purchase even if the price ($134 new, $188 used) did not.&nbsp; When a very long and tedious review criticizes a book for being long and tedious, I run, even if it is a four star review.&nbsp; I have to wonder where the author got her material in a period not terribly full of reliable histories.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the book would tell me but I am unlikely ever to see it. Has anyone here read it? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen more of his father:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
