<p>[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 24482196, member: 128351"]You are right. But the T. Quinctius Flamininus aurei were not Roman coins. They were Greek coins and the proconsul's name was not on the same side as the portrait. In Greece, Roman consuls or proconsuls commanding the Roman legions overseas were seen as kings without a diadem. But this gold stater would never have been accepted in Rome... I suppose the same thing can be said of the Nicaea coins (Greek legends, and no written mention of Julius Cesar's name).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
