<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 5515028, member: 109923&quot;]Technically an usurper is anyone who takes power illegitimately or by force. That could apply to most emperors! I don&#039;t have Eugenius but I do have a few coins of &#039;usurpers&#039; (emperors who didn&#039;t manage to keep power long enough to re-write the history books and be considered legitimate retrospectively).</p><p><br /></p><p>Allectus, who usurped the usurper Carausius in Britannia:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Allectus Quinarius, 293-296</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1240195[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>London.
