Talk:180-228 CE (Superpowers)

A few questions/thoughts I had:


 * "Sulla revalued the denarius, the primary coin used for state expenditure, increasing its silver content from a low of ~79% purity up to ~89% purity. His denarius had a weight of silver that had not been seen since the days of Claudius" If he planned all these military campaigns and civil projects he would most likely do the opposite, so that he could increase spending. See Trajan, for example. Or even closer to home, see Commodus.
 * Commodus became emperor in 177, and was already named Caesar in 166. If you are saying that Sulla was born in 165 I doubt he would be Caesar at one years old (not sure if that's when he was born, or when he was selected).
 * What happened to Commodus anyway, did he just do nothing?
 * "the four general returned to Rome for their collective Triumph." At this time in history Sulla would be the only one to receive a triumph.
 * Mesopotamia wasn't owned by the empire at the time.
