<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 161226, member: 3565&quot;]I brought yet another Emperor into the fold today.His name was Magnentius and I had never heard of him before.Apparently he was born in France (Gaul) and was commander of the Imperial Guards called the Herculians and Iovians.He was elevated to emperor by his men and basically forced out Constans and started an on again,off again war with the Constantines,especially Constantius II.Eventually he was defeated and commited suicide by falling on his own sword.Ouch!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Anyway,the intersting thing about him is that since he was a native of Gaul, the majority of his coins have French mintmarks.This one is the Ambianum (Amiens) mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
