Perhaps it was Aristobulus&#039;s wife that Carinus seduced? If so Carinus was not a very wise fella.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an early coin from Diocletian struck not long after the battle (donative for the legions involved in that battle?).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]722271[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
