Sorry I have been away again. Really tough choice as usual every coins is a worthy winner in my opinion. At least one of Victorioso's coins would prob make my top 3 but assume there a bit late as others have already voted.
Gold: FR's Maximinus Sestertius
Silver: Whizb4ng's Postumus
Bronze: Echizento Victorinus (just ahead of chrsmat71's interesting Heraclius)

**DRUMROLL** The votes have been tabulated and placement standings have been selected! Recap~We saw many strong entries, in this Smackdown of Usurpers, but three have stood above the rest. Based on peer selection those top three eligible Usurpers are as follows. No.3 Awarded Bronze for a gorgeous portrait of The Roman Usurper Posthumus, totaling 8 points. Congrats to Whizb4ng.  No.2 Awarded Silver in a close vie for the Gold, FVRIVS RVFVS, commanding several Gold and Silver Votes for his Large Bronze Scarce Roman Usurper Maximinus The Thracian. Max Thrax!!  No.1 The Gold winner and returning fan favorite Jimbo narrowly taking the Gold with a Scarce Macrianus another Roman Usurper. A wonderful coin rarely found in decent condition, has lead him to claim the RESTORED SMACKDOWN III:USURPERS - Championship standing.  Well done All.     JIMBO CONGRATS!! RESTORED SMACKDOWN IV is all yours, we all eagerly await your subject. Thank you to all that participated and voted.

Thanks guys, I am glad you liked my Macrianus it's a personal fave of mine so I jumped at the chance to post it up. All the coins posted had there own charm though as usual. You will have to give me a couple of days to think of a good subject for the next one. Am toying with the idea of offering up a coin to award the next winner. Nothing too fancy of course but thinking it might add to the fun and encourage some more people to post up coins. Watch this space anyway :)
