<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2406003, member: 44210&quot;]My favorite Roman emperor is Majorian, who ruled from 457 to 461 AD, during the final years of the Western Roman Empire. By the start of his reign the Western Empire had been reduced to Italy, some of northern Gaul, and Dalmatia. This warrior emperor with his barbarian troops campaigned against the Visigoths, the Burgundians, and the Suevi, and in a few years had reconquered southern Gaul and most of Hispania. Unlike the other late western emperors, Majorian ruled intelligently and worked hard to try to preserve the Western Roman Empire and put it on the road to recovery. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by his Master of Soldiers Ricimer, who feared his growing power.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is all I have of him. Majorian&#039;s coins are very rare and get really pricey.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Majorian</u>, Western Roman Empire</b></p><p>AE nummus</p><p><b>Obv</b>: D N IVL MAIORIANVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right</p><p><b>Rev</b>: VICTORI-A AVGGG, Victory advancing right, holding palm branch and trophy</p><p><b>Mint</b>: Milan (Mintmark: MD; struck 457-461 AD)</p><p><b>Ref</b>: RIC X 2642</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.cointalk.com%252Fproxy.php%253Fimage%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fi1197.photobucket.com%25252Falbums%25252Faa429%25252FLurkingNinja%25252Fmajoriannummus_zps9b39fa52.jpg%2526hash%253D7fdf15cca48acc20ca5a17cc3c6cda2b%26hash%3Dbecd7438991186cbb5c0d1f6a22dce9e&amp;hash=09b45f4afb62016b06bac2b36f3253e6" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
