<p>[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8516216, member: 26430"]Carinus -- I have exactly one of his coins in my collection of "<a href="https://conservatoricoins.com/selections-from-the-bce-collection/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://conservatoricoins.com/selections-from-the-bce-collection/" rel="nofollow">Barbarians, Captives, and Enemies</a>" on Roman Coins. I believe the captive is Germanic, probably of the Quadi tribe, since that's the only place the young Carinus had any military success.
