<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7311236, member: 87200&quot;]Keep in in mind that according to Cassius Dio, Didius Julianus promised a donative of 25,000 sesterces to each member of the Praetorian Guard if they raised him to the office of emperor, which works out to over 6,000 denarii per man. After awhile, they realized he couldn&#039;t pay that much even though he was one of the wealthiest men in the Empire. So they made short work of him as Septimius Severus approached Rome with his army.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
