[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8147401, member: 24754"]I solved that problem by coming up with my own definitions of what constitutes an "Emperor". - If a person is proclaimed emperor by their armies or provinces, but never actually makes it to Rome, then they weren't really an emperor (Pescennius Niger, etc problems solved) - If a person is proclaimed emperor, even by the Senate, but dies in battle before doing anything other than fight, then they weren't really an emperor (Gordian I/II, Florian, etc problems solved) - If a person is proclaimed co-emperor by their father as a child, and then they die as a child, then they weren't really an emperor (Diadumenian, etc problem solved) - Etc, etc If I had unlimited cash then I'd get them all, but this is a good way avoid spending tons of money on coins of people that amounted to little more than historical footnotes! ;)[/QUOTE]
