<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2319189, member: 19463"]Just a group of Constantine types that may be of interest to some and will bore others. I repeat the opinion that people who can not study history of people that they wouldn't invite over for dinner probably should take up another hobby. The vast majority of Roman Emperors were giant jerks by modern standards. Byzantines were, if anything, worse. I'm not terribly fond of quite a few of the US Presidents but we are collecting coins and studying coins of these people not marrying them into our families. From what I have read, the WW blurb is probably close. One does not take over the world and become the biggest name in a history of several hundred big names without being 'efficient'. Constantine was good at what he did and died a natural death. You have to award a few points for that last one.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468423[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
