<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1659275, member: 42773&quot;]So I was fooling around with my LRBs tonight, trying to get my head wrapped around some of the genealogies, and I came up with this graphic that includes the coins I own. Obviously there are a lot of people not represented yet because I don&#039;t own their coinage, so this is basically a first draft.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started with Constantius Chlorus because he&#039;s basically the father of the Constantine dynasty, even though there&#039;s some confusion as to whether he was related to Maximian. Some sources say Constantine I fabricated his father&#039;s humble beginnings for the sake of propaganda, other sources claim Constantius Chlorus fabricated his royal genealogy - for the sake of propaganda.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vertical lines indicate unions, while the horizontal arrows indicate progeny. I only intend to include persons who had coins minted under their authority, with the exception of certain wives - to maintain the integrity of the tree. I should probably include birth and death dates, but I don&#039;t want to clutter the thing up with too much text.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want the graphic to get overly large, but it would be nice to eventually include a few types for each person. If nothing else, this has helped me sort out who&#039;s who in at least one of complicated family trees of the Roman Emperors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice on the collection or the graphic would be appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh...and I&#039;m also including people that married into the Constantines, like Licinius I and Gratian, etc.</p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://postimage.org/image/gawfldy1t/full/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/image/gawfldy1t/full/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s24.postimage.org/vjmcz5rqd/cointree.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
