<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2162484, member: 19463&quot;]My error saying friend for son which is even more offensive if you read it to refer to the then current Augusti.&nbsp; Constantine was the son of the late Constantius I and considered himself Augustus from his father&#039;s death.&nbsp; Coins from mints under control of those who did not accept that point to the history of the period.&nbsp; It turned out that Constantine was right.&nbsp; He was emperor.&nbsp; Being born to the ruler may not make you successor but controlling all his loyal armies does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
