I don't suppose you have any idea how hard it is to make coins when most of your Empire is in revolt? First my father, Valerian, gets captured by the Persians, then the NW part of the Empire revolts under Postumus in 260 and also the Palmyrene Empire to the East broke off under Zenobia, although it did serve it's uses in the fight against Sassinid Persia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Yes, I know I need to get an impressive coin of myself for an avatar but they are very hard to find. Fact is, I think my solidii are among the most innovative and the most common 3rd century gold out there. They're still too pricey for me to buy tho I did try. Also I made some medallions denoted "For those who remained faithful" (i.e didn't revolt & proclaim themselves Emperor) but they're quite hard to find. I even made a smattering of heavy weight bronze sestersii; not that anyone cares about those. Finally to make the Senate happy I made some double sestersii.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
