<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3263050, member: 84744&quot;]Hostilian briefly served as Augustus with T-bone, so I&#039;ll drop this in here:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]858741[/ATTACH] </p><p>C OVAL OSTIL MES COVINTVS AVG // SAECVLVM NOVVM, hexastyle temple with statue</p><p>My notes: After Decius and Herennius Etruscus were killed by the Goths at the Battle of Abritus in July 251, Trebonianus Gallus was declared emperor. To placate the public, Trebonianus Gallus elevated Hostilian to Augustus almost immediately, making him co-emperor; he retained this position until his death, perhaps in the summer or as late as November.&nbsp; The usual account is that he died of an illness (perhaps the plague), though some say it was murder by Gallus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
