<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deadmancoins, post: 4377143, member: 109659&quot;]The world is currently witness to the plague of COVID-19. The USA is under quarantine for the first time in my lifetime. People are looking for a scapegoat; was this virus created by scientists in a lab in Wuhan funded by billionaires, or is Donald Trump a tyrant for threatening to re-open parts of America?</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of us realize these plagues unfortunately frequently occur throughout history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan Decius was also forced to deal with a plague during his reign as Roman Emperor. The Plague of Cyprian in 250-262 almost led to the fall of the Roman Empire. The fever was felt to be a filovirus similar to Ebola. Cyprian of Carthage described the symptoms as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;This trial, that now the bowels, relaxed into a constant flux, discharge the bodily strength; that a fire originated in the marrow ferments into wounds of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isthmus_of_the_fauces" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isthmus_of_the_fauces" rel="nofollow">fauces</a>; that the intestines are shaken with a continual vomiting; that the eyes are on fire with the injected blood; that in some cases the feet or some parts of the limbs are taken off by the contagion of diseased putrefaction; that from the weakness arising by the maiming and loss of the body, either the gait is enfeebled, or the hearing is obstructed, or the sight darkened;—is profitable as a proof of faith.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The plague is said to have taken the lives of 5,000 Romans per day. It sounds similar to the stories from Bergamo and New York City in 2020,</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan Decius is remembered as a conservative, opposed to the new religion of Christianity. Some reports indicated that Christianity was responsible for the outbreak of the plague. In times of crisis, we often look for places to assign blame.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the conviction of the faith of Christian leadership in the face of the plague is seen as a contributing factor to the spread of the Christian faith throughout the empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have yet to learn all we can about the plague of 2020. How did it arise? Is anybody responsible? I think one thing is certain - the world will be forever altered due to COVID-19.</p><p><br /></p><p>The related coin is a tetradrachm (AD 249- 251). Prieur 588. This coin has been posted on CoinTalk before, but I wanted to share my example. Stay safe.[ATTACH=full]1104127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
