<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3077644, member: 76194&quot;]Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first press conference of the reign of our new glorious Romano-Gallic emperor, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Marius....</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]774416[/ATTACH]</p><p>Gallic Empire</p><p>Marius</p><p>Ae Antoninianus</p><p>Mainz or Trier Mint</p><p><i>Obverse: IMP</i> C M AVR MARIVS AVG: Radiate bust of Marius right.<i>R</i></p><p><i>Reverse</i>VICTORIA AVG: Victory advancing right holding palm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know what you are going to say: &quot;But Mr. Sallent, Marius has only been ruling for 3 days, how can you declare an emperor great in 3 days?&quot; And you&#039;ll probably remind me that Marius&#039; previous career was as a blacksmith, and that he murdered our former emperor, Postumus, the founder of our Gallic Empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]774420[/ATTACH]</p><p>Postumus</p><p>AR antoninianus</p><p><br /></p><p>To all of that vicious slander l say....true! However, Marius just wrote me a large check to be his propaganda mouthpiece, and that many denarii sure does buy some nice fake news.... Besides, Postumus lost the Spanish silver mines to the Roman invaders, and he refused to let the soldiers sack Moguntiacum instead so they could receive the pay that was owed to them. Therefore, he had to go! Our glorious Marius allowed our soldiers to sack Moguntiacum, and he will.....Excuse me a second ladies and gentlemen.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Assistant</b>: &quot;Sir, Marius&#039; check just bounced!&quot;</p><p><b>Sallent</b>: Bounced? Exactly what are you trying to say?</p><p><b>Assistant</b>: &quot;Marius is so poor this check bounced higher than the cast of Baywatch&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well ladies and gentlemen, as I was saying before I was interrupted, Victorinus is the greatest Romano-Gallic emperor in the world. He is brave, handsome, and most importantly his checks don&#039;t bounce. Just don&#039;t leave your wives or daughters unattended around Victorinus, or anything female for that matter, but other than that...&nbsp; <b>All hail our glorious Emperor Victorinus, death to the usurper Marius. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]774434[/ATTACH]</p><p>Victorinus</p><p>Ae Antoninianus[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
