<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2730977, member: 74834&quot;]Gordian III (238-244), one of those sad young emperors, died 19 years old on the battlefield in Persia (probably, the scientists are divided). He had to pay his soldiers, therefore he minted so many silver coins. &quot;Gordian&#039;s youth and good nature, along with the deaths of his grandfather and uncle and his own tragic fate at the hands of the enemy, earned him the lasting esteem of the Romans&quot; says Wikipedia. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have three Greek Romans of him, one of Odessos (25 mm, 10,6 gr.) showing Gordian with Serapis and Nemesis on the reverse, one of Marcianopolis (27 mm, 14 gr.). Gordian with Serapis again, but with Asclepius on the reverse, and Nicaea (Bithynia, 20 mm, 3,1 gr.). On the reverse two legionary eagles between two standards, crowned with two model quadrupeds. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]620958[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]620959[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]620960[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
