Furryfrog02 Posted November 21, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2023 I was able to watch a bit of this before getting the tadpoles to bed. Very interesting. I like Carausius and the whole time period surrounding him. Such an interesting time in Roman history. I submit my humble Carausius as thanks for your post: Carausius AE antoninianus London mint Obverse: IMP CARAVSIVS PF AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right Reverse: PAX AVG, Pax standing left, holding branch and vertical sceptre.

Heliodromus Posted November 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks - interesting video. I learnt quite a bit from it. For anyone not too familiar with Carausius, there's a paper here that goes into a bit more depth on his Virglian RSR and INCPDA marks. https://artefacts.mom.fr/Publis/Bedoyere_2005.pdf It's interesting that it was Carausius who brought back (~93%) silver coinage before Diocletian did, and that he seems to have originated this RSR "return of the saturnian reign (aka golden age)" which is then also assimilated by a Panegyric honoring the tetrarchs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Atherton Posted November 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 I love the ANS Longtable videos! Most of which I find very engaging, especially those covering areas I'm unfamiliar with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
