<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2416798, member: 19463"]Maybe we should make the point that several names of emperors as used by collectors and historians were not used by or acceptable to the person in question. Caligula was Gaius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius was the first two names but the one that shows on most coins is also Antoninus (the family name). The fact that we have three emperors who used Antoninus Pius as a name is something we just have to learn but, of the three, the one who did not have legends reading Antoninus Pius was the one we call by that name. He was usually styles Antoninus Aug(ustus) Pius. </p><p>I believe it is correct that you will not be executed for errors of this type anymore but I strongly suggest time travelers not use the word Caracalla in his presence. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
