    Curious as to the age demographics of the ancients forum. I'm in the 21-30 year old group (I'm 24). To keep it coin-relevant, I'll also post a ruler who ascended to the throne at about my same age.

    Theodoric was 21 when he became king of the Ostrogoths in 475 AD.

    Anastasius/Theodoric, Ostrogothic Kingdom
    AR Quarter-Siliqua
    Obv: DN ANASTASI[VS PP] AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right
    Rev: INVICTA-A RO[MA], monogram of Theodoric surrounded by legend, legend separated by cross above, O below
    Mint: Rome (struck 491-518 AD)
    Ref: BMC 74 ff

    35. I feel older at work, but idk if thats because all the running around and heavy lifting, that or the fact that the people I hang out with at work are 100 years old.
