<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4678954, member: 99554&quot;]Maybe what I meant was not clear; always the same brain problem translating from French to English. The historian Eutropius informs us that Gordy III opened the doors in 241. He wrote : &quot; <i>After Gordian, when quite a boy, had married Tranquillina at Rome, he opened the temple of Janus, and, setting out for the Parthians, who were then proceeding to make an irruption.</i>&quot; (Eutropius Short History 9.2).</p><p>We are forced to accept that the gates had been closed for almost 170 years. If the doors had been open all the time and a second-century emperor had closed them, he would have minted coins, and archaeologists would have found these. But in my knowledge they have not been discovered, and this forces us to accept that the gates were closed, even though emperors like Trajan, Marcus Aurelius and&nbsp; Septimius Severus were well-known warriors. But this is only my opinion for what it&#039;s worth ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
