<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 26130694, member: 10613&quot;]Obviously, at least if you have seen my website, I would argue against that. The Imperial Carthage issues are not only unique to the Carthage mint; but reference a historic event that would be almost forgotten to history. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Carthage/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Carthage/" rel="nofollow">https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Carthage/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Quinquegentiani (People of the Five Tribes) were a confederation of Berbers in North Africa. They were under Roman rule, but rebelled in A.D. 289 and were successful for a few years until Maximianus Herculius launched a series of devastating attacks starting in A.D. 296-297 and finishing in A.D. 298, after which, the Quinquegentiani were never heard of again.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>If not for the coinage, the Quinquegentiani would merely be a very small footnote in history; as there is not much said about them otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;“Maximianus Augustus, too, ended the war in Africa by crushing the Quinquegentiani and compelling them to make peace.” (Eutropius pg 62)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
