I had cause to be reminded of what I still consider to be @carlosfnorena.bsky.social 's greatest ever twitter thread. I just read it out to a room of postgrads. All agreed.

Have you ever heard of the emperor Domitianus?

This remarkable coin discovered on farmland near Chalgrove in 2003 provides proof that a man named Domitianus claimed to be emperor in the early 270s CE. It was fused in a mass of nearly five thousand coins within a partially intact Roman jar.
