<p>[QUOTE="ominus1, post: 4776648, member: 89687"]...Just arrived! My 1st bid win this year...(and it was reasonable^^).....Tacitus was already 74 when he was elected by the senate..this would mark the 1st time since the crisis began that the miltiary refused to select an emperor, as they had done previously, and handed the chore to the senate. The 7 months between Aurelians death and Tacitus offically taking the reigns of power is where Severina is thought to have ruled as sole and only female emperor(ess)...Tacitus ruled as head of state for 2 years and died either of fever or assassination(there's two differing accounts) on campaign..another down and 10 to go! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>POST YER COINS N COMMENTS PEEPS!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1162698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162701[/ATTACH]</p><p>Tacitus silvered antoninianus(275-276)</p><p>Bust right with radiate crown obverse</p><p>SPES PVBLICA, victory holding palm handing wreath to emperor reverse, 22mm, 3.30gms[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
