<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3943246, member: 99554&quot;]The 3 coins I won from AMCC 2 just arrived today. They have been lost in the mail and I thought they’ll never show up again... I’m happy because they will be an upgrade in my collection of three emperors belonging to the same weird family...</p><p><b>Carus </b>was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers after the assassination of Probus in a putsch. He immediately named his 2 sons <b>Carinus </b>and <b>Numerian </b>caesars. After only 12 month of reign (282-283 AD), he was supposedly struck by lightning while he was in his tent...though some suggest one of his officers killed him in his sleep. If he was still alive, <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan" rel="nofollow">Roy Sullivan </a>would say that <b>Carus</b> died because of a lighting storm !</p><p><b>Carinus</b>, his older son and <b>Numerian </b>his brother became co-emperor at this moment. <b>Carinus </b>was a real Casanova; he reportedly managed to wed and divorce nine separate women during his short rule in Rome. He was later assassinated by a tribune whose wife he had seduced. His reign only lasted 2 years. <b>Numerian </b>only wear the purple for 1 1/2 year. While campaigning in Syria, he felt sick and had to travel in a closed litter. A few days later, some soldiers started to smell a distinctive odour of decay coming from the coach, and the dead body of the emperor was discovered...but some believe that he was actually poisoned. What a family my friends ! All 3 coins are ex [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; collection. Am I developing a little emotional dependency ???&nbsp; I’m planning to change my avatar name to :</p><p>Ocatarinetabellatchitsmith. What do you think of the&nbsp; idea ?</p><p><b>Please show us your coins of this short dynasty ( or a coin once lost in the mail which finally showed up)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Carus</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1039362[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Carinus</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1039363[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Numerian</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1039364[/ATTACH] </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
