Description: This rare and ancient Roman coin, minted between 270-275 AD during the reign of Emperor Aurelian, is a fascinating piece of history. With over 1750 years of age, this Antoninianus denomination coin showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the ancient Roman Empire. The coin features the image of Emperor Aurelian, who ruled during a tumultuous period in Roman history, and provides a window into the daily lives and economic exchanges of the time. The reverse of this coin is very worn. Aurelian was a Roman emperor, who reigned during the Crisis of the Third Century, from 270 to 275. As emperor, he won an unprecedented series of military victories which reunited the Roman Empire after it had nearly disintegrated under the pressure of barbarian invasions and internal revolts. Born in modest circumstances, most likely in Moesia Superior, he entered the Roman army in 235 and climbed up the ranks. He went on to lead the cavalry of the emperor Gallienus, until Gallienus' assassination in 268. Following that, Claudius Gothicus became emperor until his own death in 270. Claudius' brother Quintillus ruled the empire for three months, before Aurelian became emperor. Whether you are a collector or a history enthusiast, this coin is a unique and valuable addition to any collection. C162
