<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4855236, member: 44316&quot;]There are two threads going now that address the family of Carus. I am posting this to both because it links to a website on the family. The other is here:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/carus-sons-numerian-carinus.366468/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/carus-sons-numerian-carinus.366468/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/carus-sons-numerian-carinus.366468/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In the short three years of Carus, Carinus, and Numerian their titles on coins underwent several changes. With this post I announce a site on their coins and how they are dated, &quot;Roman Coins of the Emperors Carus, Carinus, and Numerian, 282-285.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorites on that page is this one of Carus spelled with a K, which was only used very early in his reign.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1172416[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Carus</b></p><p>Probably struck sole reign, end of August 282 to autumn 282</p><p>23 mm. 3.86 grams.</p><p>IMP C M AVR <b>KARVS</b> PF AVG</p><p>PAX EXERCITI</p><p>Pax standing left holding flower and standard.</p><p>VIXXI</p><p><br /></p><p><i>RIC</i> 73, Ticinum mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a coin of theirs with a reverse legend ending AVG, AVGG, or AVGGG, it has chronological information which is in two tables in that article.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look: <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Carus/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
