It makes me quite happy to be able to come back to this video, now as a proud owner of a coin of Macrianus Makes the video even more enjoyable by being able to relate

70 of the 80 Roman Emperors were assassinated, excluding Nero who was forced to take his own life If you think about it, it was a dead-end job, literally

I've found quite a few rare Roman coins a Claudius denari with bust of a hound Nero on reverse in very good condition again some rare one of carrausius one being an unusual depiction of pax on reverse with pax holding victory in her pal few of postumus one of Marius the black smith and a stunning siliqua of flavours victor

As a Welsh history nerd, a Magnus Maximus coin is on my dream list He's a historic heroic figure (by the name Macsen Wledig) in Wales

Excellent showcase! I, personally, like the coins of separatist Carausius He also tried to outdo the official issues in metal quality and used literature references in the legends

I really like that Quietus Samosata produced some of the best coins during the crisis of 3rd century

Fascinating account of this complicated era of Roman coinage
Comment from : @tedlawrence4189

Great video, as always It made me wonder, did Geta issue coinage? If so, it must be exceedingly rare as it would have been destroyed

I hadn’t realized how many Usurper coins I have Of course I have several Postumus, Allectus, Magnetius, Clodius Albinus…… but my favorite usurper coin is my * AUREOLUS *

Always an education on history I never knew 😊!
Comment from : @glasgowjohn6372

No usurpers but I've got one would-be emperor that wasn't, Crispus, super detailed portrait with that miniaturized style with the shield present they played with here and there That Postumus is a beauty, and the reverse on Magnus Maximus' is a lot more active than usual, but I figure with a name like that you probably should be raising the Republic with one hand while carrying Victory with the other so it works well
Comment from : @theeccentrictripper3863

One of my most treasured coins is an antoninianus of Laelianus He was a usurper against Postumus in 269 AD, he himself a usurper as mentioned in the video Laelianus reigned for 3 months from Mogontiacum, before being killed by either his own troops or those of Postumus However, as Postumus didn't allow his troops to sack the city after Laelianus' fall, he himself was killed by his own troops Afterwards, Marius was raised as emperor of the Gallic empire, but he also only lasted for 2-3 months Thus, 269 AD was a Year of the Four emperors for the Gallic empire, with Victorinus ultimately gaining power The coins of Laelianus are the most difficult of the Gallic Empire to obtain, apart from those of the obscure Domitian II (but these are only in museums)
Comment from : @skuul666

Once I tried to get examples of all emperors of the gaelic empire but coins of Laelianus and Marius ar much to expensive for me It was easier and cheaper to get the british usurpers Carausius and Allectus I don't know if you would count Clodius Albinus as usurper or real emperor His coins are normally in the financial limit - at least for mebrAureolus was a curious usuper who eddited coins in the name of Posthumus trying to ally himself with the gaelic empire and can sometimes be found still for more or less afordable prices Along with those you have show in your video I think that these are all of the "accessible" usurpors

Magnus Maximus sounds like a fake name or a character on a video game😂
Comment from : @rodrigodepierola

I love ancient coins, but i have had to stop collecting them, there is far too many fakes out there and any coin that you can be confident in being real is almost always way to pricy comparatively, you end up paying hundreds of dollars for small bronze pieces and silver and gold pieces can be thousands of dollars it just seems more lucrative to buy large amounts of silver bullion than one small bronze

I enjoyed this episode very much ! Very informative and well narrated Nice examples of Roman coins of the period too Thank you !
Comment from : @philipwagner7929

I have an antoninianus of Postumus with Pax on the reverse I like some irony on Roman coins Like my denarius of Severus Alexander that has Spes on the reverse There was no hope for that young lad in the end

Comment from : @sandrojones8068

Thank you for this video! I absolutely LOVE the coins of usurpers and am intrigued by their history, unfortunately a lot of their coins are way out of my price range
Comment from : @wertinas

Recently got a Aurelian and valabalus antoninianus with much silvered remaining from antioch mint
Comment from : @billyli6138

Interestingly enough, Procopius was indeed related Julian Procopius’ descendant become Western Roman Emperor, his name was Anthemius
Comment from : @Cheemsarion

Enjoyed the video very much I recently purchased a follis of Procopius to add to my usurper collection
Comment from : @donklaser217

Good Afternoon ! I do my thesis on the coinage of Roman usurpers ! It's very fun to see some interest on the topic of Romun usurpers !
Comment from : @loukithib6346

Thanks for your video! I have a Postumus coin and the details on that coin are the finest I’ve ever seen on a Roman coin…all for about $25!
