Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 9:28 pm I know many of you deal through Vcoins as I do, so if you received this same email, indulge me for the sake of those who didn't get the news from 2000 years ago. Vcoins has taken to sending out "This Week In History" updates, so I thought I would share this week's and see if there is any interest for future installments. Quote: 05/28 20 AD Drusus, son of Tiberius, celebrates triumph after three years as governor of Pannonia. He would later receive tribunician power in 22 AD, a distinction reserved solely for the emperor or his immediate successor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/01 193 AD Didius Julianus beheaded on the Palatine after a reign of just 66 days that led to a 4 year long civil war. After the war, he was sentenced to death by his successor. Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 06/01/2012 03:58 am I also received the mail. That's awesome that VCoins is doing that along with sales promotions. One thing that doesn't quite make sense to me. If Didius Julianus was beheaded after 66 days, which caused a war that lasted for 4 years. How can he be sentenced to death after that 4 year war if he's already dead? lol Report this Post to the Staff
