<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7566248, member: 101855&quot;]That is an interesting list of “good emperors” although it leaves off a few names. You might consider Caesar Augustus, Vespasian, Diocletian and Constantine I to name a few. Julius Caesar, despite the fact that he ended the Roman Republic, would be another. None of these guys were saints. To hold power, you had to be ready to liquidate you opponents. “Nice guys finish last,” was a good phrase to describe most of Roman history.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also interesting to note that there were <b>six</b> emperors in the year 238. Two of the six, Maximianus Thrax and Gordian III, are fairly easy to get. Two others, Balbinus and Pupienus, are tough. Gordian I and Gordian II are very expense and pretty much beyond the reach of most collectors. I have written article about this topic, and have had it approved for publication this summer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
