Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 8:48 pm So I am going to mix things up a bit. Instead of me just babbling like a fool about this new coin I paid for; I will let you guys guess who it is and what it is! I then will show it off. Note, clues will be in first person. Clue 1- I am not from the Toga cladded race! (shocking!) Clue 2- I come from the most messed up dynasty in human history. Clue 3 I share part of my name with the greatest Macedonian King. Good luck ladies and gents! PS-A.N. and T.C. already know what it is. Edited by Augustus Maximus 05/15/2015 07:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 9:36 pm No, but good guess! Clue 4- I had my mother killed. (I told you this was the most messed up dynasty of all time) Edited by Augustus Maximus 05/14/2015 10:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 10:00 pm I have three in mind but, not really knowing the biographies, the killing the mother part (which, btw, sounds REALLY BAD when you say it in first person, AM), kind of trips me up. I'll go for one here: Alexander I Balas? Report this Post to the Staff
Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 10:09 pm Indeed it does Bob, I would never lay a finger on my old madre. Sorry, but no dice Bob. Clue-5 I was supported by the Senate and People of Rome in a war against my brother. Edited by Augustus Maximus 05/14/2015 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
