It’s crazy! Apparently almost every Emperor wanted to be the “Conqueror of the Germans”. I never noticed until I was looking at a collection online where someone showed off many denarii & sestercii. In my opinion the title should’ve gone only to Germanicus (father of Caligula & brother of Claudius) himself. But it’s kind of hilarious xD
"Germanicus" is a title for all the emperors who won wars in Germania. Along with descendents of Nero Claudius Drusus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanicus_(name) "Dacicus" was used by emperors winning wars in Dacia - Trajan and Constantine the Great. If you think about it, not all emperors are related to Caesar or Augustus, but they used these titles.
That’s a fair point. I just think it’s kind of funny how many Emperors wanted the people to view them as conquerors of the Germans xD
