<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3503501, member: 98035&quot;]The Historia Augusta is pretty unambiguous about Marius&#039; short reign - it offers additional commentary on how he only ruled for one full day, and likened him to a purported consul during the Republican era whose reign of only a few hours was so tyrannical that few dared to eat, and none dared sleep.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d echo that he probably ruled for at least a month, as he had new dies cut, and controlled at least two mints. But this coin (which I sold a few months ago) supports a very short reign, as it shows Victorinus as Postumus!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]928683[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And who would pass up a chance to show off a Marius?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]928686[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I need to image my Gordian III looking like Balbinus, but I do have a nice early Aurelian where he looks almost identical to Claudius II</p><p>[ATTACH=full]928687[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
