There is a wide variety of coins available from the reign of Trajan Decius, with many interesting &amp; issues rare issues like the double sestertii &amp; the <i>divi</i> series, despite his short reign. But collectors are drawn to his coins for historical reasons too. The intense persecution of Christians &amp; the resurgence of the Goths were signs to the Roman people how weak the empire had become. When Decius, along with his son, became the became the 1st emperor to die in battle fighting barbarians this must have sent shock waves to Romans. Until Diocletian became emperor &amp; established the tetrarchy Rome was on weak ground.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
