<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8645356, member: 24754"]I'm wondering if "Poemenius" should be added to the list. Apparently, he started a revolt in Trier while Constantius II was going after Magnentius in 353. His revolt was in support of Constantius II, and he even got around to minting some coins in Trier, which mimicked coins that were being minted of Magnentius (Chi Ro on reverse).

There is some information to be found online about the coin in general, but indications about who the bust represents are inconsistent. I'm leaning toward Constantius II, but wanted to see if any of you might know something more definitive.[/QUOTE]
