<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 3045421, member: 90772&quot;]Hey everybody, thanks for making this thread so much fun. I&#039;m very grateful to see so many outstanding &quot;chin&quot; coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax, the subject of my first post. Was he really 8 foot 6 inches tall as the often inaccurate Historia Augusta says, or could he actually have been bigger? Did he really wear one of his wife&#039;s bracelets as a ring on his thumb? That would be an awfully big thumb. I am including here a famous unretouched photo by Diane Arbus as an example of a very tall person. Exactly how big was Max Thrax? Something to think about.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] Thank you for your very fine example.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]760770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
