<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8082465, member: 26302"]Sorry, but footnotes and fluff is where real history lives. Almost nothing is the same as the other, and real history is really messy. This applies to everything really. Every single thing you ever learned in a textbook, except math, is at best mostly true. Real knowledge is found in nuances and footnotes. Is someone cannot accept this, then pick a list you agree with and use that. No one list can possibly ever be 100% correct, since the data is simply messy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Myself, I concentrate on the coins, because we collect coins. If its an issue commonly available, I consider it a Roman leader even if others might disagree. If it dies not exist or horribly rare, I just ignore it. If I owned a PN I would have it in the Roman box even though I know a large number of scholars would say he was a usurper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
