<p>[QUOTE="The Trachy Enjoyer, post: 6409372, member: 118358"]Indeed. The Ostrogoths especially were keen to follow the imperial precedents left behind. The vandals seemed more much willing to flout tradition or push boundaries of what was deemed acceptable for a "barbarian" people. Its a shame they didn't issue gold coinage, as I could easily imagine their later kings boldly putting vandalic regal portraiture on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
