[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3643515, member: 87200"]There are many examples. Sponsianus come to mind, a third century usurper who is known only from 1 aureus found (which could be a forgery) and is not mentioned in the historical record. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsianus[/URL] Another is Regalianus, who is mentioned briefly in the famously inaccurate [I]Historia Augusta[/I] but is otherwise unknown except for coins struck in his name and Dryantilla, his wife. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regalianus[/URL] Another is Achilleus, pretender in Alexandria at the end of the third century and successor of Domitius Domitianus, who led a revolt against Diocletian in Egypt. Achilleus struck no coins but Domitius did. Others can point out more examples I'm sure.[/QUOTE]
