[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7904497, member: 111387"]I agree. Perhaps a more apt term for modern times might be 'tourist' or 'traveler' from abroad. As mentioned by the OP -- The old kings of Rome did not have coinage. So it would logically lead one to the understanding that Seutonius was not referring to 'Old Roman Kings'([FONT=Times New Roman]VETERES REGIOS ROMANI)[/FONT], rather he was referring to other 'Old Kings'. The cool take on it is that Augustus was a collector of ancient coinage too. Wouldn't it be awesome having a Syracuse Tet or a Stater from Asia Minor with provenance dating back to old Auggie himself?[/QUOTE]
