<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4908771, member: 75525&quot;]I like the stories that go with many of the Roman coins. I bought several LRBs and especially liked: </p><blockquote><p>Victorinus, Emperor of Gallic Empire 269 – 271. The Gallic Empire broke away from the Roman Empire from 260 – 274. Victorinus was a successful military commander. He was tribune in 266/267 and co-consul of Rome with Postumus in 268. He succeeded Postumus (Imp of G E 260 – 269) who was killed when he refused to let his army sack a city his army had just defeated, Mogontiacum. Postumus was succeeded by Marius, who probably let the troops sack, Mogontiacum. Marius was killed two or three months later and Victorinus was declared Imperor. Victorinus was killed by one of his commanders whose wife he had seduced. </p></blockquote><p>[ATTACH=full]1184499[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184500[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Stories of the Romans and Sabins converted me to RR.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184501[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184502[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
