<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 5241143, member: 116315&quot;]The Roman usurpers Silbannacus and Domitian II are known only from their extremely rare antoniniani:</p><p><img src="https://classicalassociationni.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/silbannacus2.jpg?w=705" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dannyjones/ERIC/Imperial%20Ruler%20Images/Section6_Page_039_Image_0001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Also, while not technically an emperor, Nigrinian, nephew of emperor Carus, is only known from his consecration coinage:</p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/792111.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The same goes for his likely mother, Magnia Urbica, who was probably the wife of Carinus. His memory was slandered and cancelled by his successor Diocletian, so it makes sense that the names of his family have been lost:</p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/75001126.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>And, while it&#039;s not my field of expertise, I know that most late Indo-Greek kings are known only from their coins, leading to many doubts regarding their correct number as well as their dating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
