<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8080973, member: 87200&quot;]I think anyone who proclaimed himself emperor was an emperor, at least to his legions. Many usurpers called themselves Augustus including the almost-successful Aemilian, who issued standard Roman coins for a short while. The list of pretenders goes on and on - Pacatianus, Regalianus, Ingenuus, Domitius Domitianus, etc. One could say Severus and Maximinus Thrax also were pretenders, the distinction being is that they were able to press their claims to the throne successfully instead of losing out to rivals during the pitched battles between candidates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fake it til you make it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
