Скачать или смотреть The Strange Case of the Fake Emperor "Carausius II": The Emperor Made from a Fake Coin

What if a Roman Emperor, debated by scholars for 70 years, never actually existed?

This is the strange and fascinating story of "Carausius II," a supposed Roman ruler in Britain whose entire existence was 'invented' based on a few misinterpreted coins. We dive into the historical detective work, from the initial "discovery" of a coin legend to the conflicting theories and the ultimate, shocking reveal that cracked the case.

Join us as we explore how a single, clever forgery propped up a 70-year-old academic debate, and ask a bigger question: How much of history is confirmed fact, and how much is just a well-researched story?
