[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3103935, member: 80783"]A nice Sestertius you have there! I think it commemorates a victory in the Persian war which lead to the celebration of Alexanders´ triumph over the Sassanians in 232. Had it been Alex Severus who had invaded Germania and devastated it´s lands all the way to the Elbe river (and won the battle at the Harzhorn) a couple of years later (instead of bargaining with the barbarians and listening to his mom as attested by the Historia Augusta), the troops would have had no reason for rebellion and Maximinus Thrax could hardly have credibly and explicitly celebrated the VICTORIA GERMANIA for himself.
