Traditional Collectibles: Numismatics: Coins: Ancient: Roman Pre AD 1000: item #686125

Diocletian ruled the Roman Empire from 284-305 AD.

Although this system did not last, it provided the basis for splitting the empire into separate Roma... Click for details

Traditional Collectibles: Numismatics: Coins: Ancient: Roman Pre AD 1000: item #685819

Aurelian's short reign (270-275 AD) was characterized by exceptional military prowess that won back the vast majority of the Empire that had been lost due to rebellion and invasion under his immediate predecessors. He defeated many barbarian tribes, including the Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Alamanni, as well as several rebel states (the "Palmyrene" and "Gallic" empires). Unfortunately, Aurelian was poised to potentially defeat the weakened Sassanid Empire in 275 when he was assassinated b... Click for details

Roman Coin: Gordian III AR Antoninianus

Traditional Collectibles: Numismatics: Coins: Ancient: Roman Pre AD 1000: item #685816

Gordian III ("the pius") ruled the Roman Empire from 238-244 AD. Gordian III became emperor at the age of 13 with the support of the people, who held him in high esteem due to the principled resistance that his grandfather and uncle mounted against Maximinus I. By all accounts, he was a well-intentioned ruler who had some military successes against the Sassanid Persians prior to his death on campaign in 244 AD under mysterious circumstances. Phillip I (the Arab) succeeded him. ... Click for details
