Hostilian briefly served as Augustus with T-bone, so I'll drop this in here:

C OVAL OSTIL MES COVINTVS AVG // SAECVLVM NOVVM, hexastyle temple with statue
My notes: After Decius and Herennius Etruscus were killed by the Goths at the Battle of Abritus in July 251, Trebonianus Gallus was declared emperor. To placate the public, Trebonianus Gallus elevated Hostilian to Augustus almost immediately, making him co-emperor; he retained this position until his death, perhaps in the summer or as late as November. The usual account is that he died of an illness (perhaps the plague), though some say it was murder by Gallus.

Now who has those Cornelia Superas and Uranius Antoninuses??

 

Both mine are on vacation, I can't have them for a pic right now

@GregH has a wonderful Uranius to show

Here's my Aemilian instead



Q

 

When I first got into ancients, with that first NFA auction catalogue. Being a novice, I glanced thru it, the coins that caught my eye the most where of course unbeknowst to me (at that time) 2 FDC aurei/ one from Gallic Empire (Laelinus) second Uranius Antoninus from Emesa Mint/ then I noted the estimates Well, one can only hope that they uncover a hoard of perfect state aurei one day....hopefully a LARGE hoard, so we could all afford one.

 

Here's my Aemilian, liberated from a slab:

RIC IV 7 (R)

 

So is Valerian next?

 

Cornelia Supera AR Antoninianus. CORNEL SVPERA AVG, diademed, draped bust right, resting on crescent / VESTA, Vesta standing left, holding patera and sceptre. RSC 5.(borrowed from wild winds)

 

Uranius Antoninus, AV aureus. L IVL AVR SVLP VRA ANTONINVS, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right / FECVNDITAS AVG, Fortuna standing left, holding rudder and cornucopiae. RIC 3a; Baldus 57-67; Sear 9883.(Borrowed from wild winds)

 

Sure is!

 

I have one Valerianus!
AV Aureus ND struck 253AD Rome Mint
Valerian I 253-60

poor guy ended up annihilated by Shapur/ ended up as a slave to the "King of Kings"

 

Footstool? And then supposedly he was stuffed after death and kept in the palace as a memento.

AR antoninianus. My only Valerian so far (need to upgrade a bit)
