<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2376808, member: 42773&quot;]It would appear that the gods neither despised nor favored Hostilian - they were completely indifferent. He was the second son of Trajan Decius and Herennia Etruscilla. His older brother and heir to the throne was Herrenius Etruscus.</p><p><br /></p><p>One fine day, Decius and Herennius went off to show the Goths who&#039;s boss, but got their heads handed to them instead. The Danubian legions elected Trebonianus Gallus as the new head honcho, and Treb intended to keep Hostilian around out of respect for TD, but the Plague of Cyprian got to him first, and he died somewhere around his twentieth year, having accomplished exactly nothing whatsoever. He &quot;ruled&quot; for less than a year in AD 251.</p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s one of the easier of the rare emperors to collect, particularly if you look to Viminacium. A bit of patience and haggling should get you a very nice coin without robbing the bank...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486716[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
