<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2725359, member: 87200&quot;]This period of history after the fall of the tetrarchs is one of the sad notes in my opinion about the reign of Constantine. In the early parts of his reign he did not demonstrate the bloodthirstiness that he did later in the reign. Perhaps it was due to some kind of change in his mentality or even mental illness of some kind. The sources are pretty biased but I suppose we will never know. </p><p><br /></p><p>A bit later on, I always wondered why Constantius II didn&#039;t execute Julian but let him live, even after he revolted with the legions of Gaul. Of course we don&#039;t know what would have happened if Constantius (who was occupied with Persian affairs) had actually met Julian in battle, as he died along the way. Anyway, thanks for posting the poll. As a new member here I&#039;m having a lot of fun reading the posts on here and finding some kindred souls. Coin collecting is mostly a solitary experience and it is very rewarding to be able to interact with people online who share the same interests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
