<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1769326, member: 19463"]Britain was a major theater of war from Caesar to Septimius but keeping those rowdy Brits under control was a lot of work. After Septimius died, just who would you expect to keep fighting in Britain? Caracalla soon changed to his GERM series coins. Elagabalus was an Easterner an seemed more interested in other forms of conquest (Vestals???). It should take little imagination to figure out why that end of the Empire was available for guys like Postumus and Carausius.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
