    This article seems to thoroughly debunk the news about a Roman-era coin that was widely reported to be a "discovery" of a previously unknown emperor. Apparently the #sponsian coin is just a shitty forgery, possibly from the 18th century, claims this #numismatic analyst from Cambridge.

    Do we have a new Roman emperor #sponsian / #sponsianus?

    As for the current debate, I am more concerned with the notion of 'authenticity'.

    New research on an ancient gold coin suggests that a third century Roman emperor written out of history as a fictional character really did exist, scientists say.
