<p>[QUOTE="GregH, post: 7836622, member: 75936"]My latest ruler is Magnia Urbica. There seems to now be some controversy as to whether she is the wife of Carus or Carinus. I understand the case for Magnia being Carus' wife is based on the recent discovery of an aureus with the portraits of both Carus and Magnia Urbica, and the theory that you'd put husband and wife on a coin, but not a father-in-law/daughter-in-law combo. Maybe someone here knows something about that? She's known only from her coins, so i guess we'll never find out for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fmel12-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/234459202_226201539509700_3592522780380374440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=4V5C13TudY0AX8U7QWy&tn=pQoCt57z-EaMLxW7&_nc_ht=scontent.fmel12-1.fna&oh=71f22dbf87adaf002b6c115559c7271f&oe=6141148A" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Denomination: Antoninianus</p><p>Mint: Serdica</p><p>Obverse: MAGNIA VRBICA AVG.
