<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3382731, member: 19463&quot;]The deification coins for Claudius II are a special case.&nbsp; Other than the large series by Trajan Decius honoring all the deified emperors he recognized, most were honored immediately on their death by the ruler who succeeded them.&nbsp; Constantine claimed Claudius II as a distant relative (Claudius was claimed to have had a brother Crispus whose daughter Claudia was the mother of Constantine&#039;s father).&nbsp; Constantine issued commemorative coins for his father Constantius, his father in law Maximianus and his distant uncle Claudius. </p><p><br /></p><p>My best commemorative is the sestertius of Caracalla.&nbsp; It is a bronze disease survivor. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]898315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
