Sorry for the potential confusion, AD259+ is the target now - have to check what I've got.

You were faster than me 'echizento', just dug my Rudrasena II up as well.
Now the question is: is there anything else.

'Augustus_Maximus', did you notice the bare head on Maximus?
Back to the current target: Gallienus, Salonina or Saloninus as Caesar would be options, but let's give others a chance to post those.

I still have not found a suitable reason why Magnentius did not wear a diademed. And yes that coin gave Sky and myself a headache .

Just in this Game of Pish, we have covered Africa, Asia, and India something from mainland Europe would be appropriate. Any Roman client kingdoms?

Shapur I is the one I was waiting for! I don't particularly want to want to diversify into other regions, but he would go well will my Valerian I. Way past may bedtime, carry on guys....

A "least desired valid response" is still a valid response, right :D . That's a Valerian I provincial, so I'll throw in an Imperial Valerian I.  An antoninianus of Valerian I, minted in Syria between 258-260 AD. 20.1 mm, 3.272 g. The reverse has a very interesting scene of a personification of the Orient presenting a wreath to the Emperor, who is holding a spear. Also, I think this is a very fun game and hope we do go back to the BC era a few times. I think the successor state period is probably pretty well covered by people in here at least. |
