<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2315999, member: 76194&quot;]There&#039;s no one to blame but Gordian I and Gordian II for the lack of coins from them. They were poor leaders and failed miserably and spectacularly in short order. At least their folly gave us Gordian III, whose coin portraits I rather enjoy and is in my short list for coins I&#039;ll be getting next month. And when Gordian III was murdered by his scheming soldiers, it gave rise to Phillip the Arab, who also contributed to Roman coinage with awesome portraits and interesting reverses. He is also on my short list. The first two Gordian are not...I won&#039;t pay top dollar for mere failures and footnotes in Roman history, which is what they were. Just my take, I&#039;m sure most here disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
