<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 2575266, member: 5682&quot;]I am sure many people have read this recent article:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>It is possible that Silbannacus belongs to this murky episode in Roman history [during the third century AD]. Specialists have noted that the style of his coin is very similar to those minted at Rome. It may be the case that Silbannacus’ coinage was indeed minted in the capital, and that he briefly gained control there during the period of conflict between Aemilian and Valerian. Perhaps he was one of Aemilian’s officers who, after Aemilian’s murder, tried to secure the city of Rome against Valerian. If he did, he was unsuccessful: Valerian swiftly gained control of the capital and became the legitimate emperor.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.historyextra.com/article/bbc-history-magazine/silbannacus-roman-emperor-time-forgot" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.historyextra.com/article/bbc-history-magazine/silbannacus-roman-emperor-time-forgot" rel="nofollow">http://www.historyextra.com/article/bbc-history-magazine/silbannacus-roman-emperor-time-forgot</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]557850[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silbannacus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silbannacus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silbannacus</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>But it always good to review the more obscure Emperors of the third century of Ancient Roman history since the numismatic material is sometimes the only evidence that these emperors even existed.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Other obscure, but fascinating emperors from this period include Domitian II and Saturninus.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domitianus_II" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domitianus_II" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domitianus_II</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]557860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]557861[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/coin/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/coin/" rel="nofollow">http://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/coin/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]557862[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Saturninus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Saturninus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Saturninus</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/roman/id/Coins-of-Roman-Emperor-Saturninus.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/roman/id/Coins-of-Roman-Emperor-Saturninus.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/roman/id/Coins-of-Roman-Emperor-Saturninus.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(None of these are my coins, of course.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
