Message:: [QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 7881244, member: 77226"]Great input again! I do appreciate it. If you'd try to summarize the last 10 years of modern politics by what you see on coins, I suppose you'd be missing even more of the story (although you've provided some excellent details!). I'm sure there's a lot of back story that we're missing that I'd love to read if some day a dusty parchment is found. I have two interesting coins from Constantine's London mint that are interesting. For both Maximinus and Licinius, the "F" is missing in the usual IMP _____ PF AVG formula for both, only stating IMP _____ P AVG. Although scarce coins, this legend showing up on multiple dies for at least two Augusti, means it's probably not a mistake. So here's to the Pius but hopefully not Lucky eastern Augusti.
