[QUOTE="Magnus Maximus, post: 2478284, member: 73473"]A few days ago I found myself reading a number of the Emperor Julian's works, one of which is titled [I]The Caesars[/I].

That and I don't know of anybody that has a coin of his :) I will not post it here as it would take up an entire page. Here is the link.
