<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7924392, member: 87200&quot;]The celators must have received a bust of Aemilian so they had a model for the coin portraits. That&#039;s all I can think of. In the case of Gordian I and II we have coins minted in Rome with their likenesses yet neither of the Gordians ever left Africa before Gordian II was killed in battle against Capellianus the governor of Numidia who remained loyal to Maximinus Thrax. Gordian I hanged himself when he heard the news.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
