He reigned all of three months in AD 253.</p><p>His short reign makes him one of the challenging slots in an emperor set, which is probably exacerbated by the fact that a <i>damnatio memoriae</i> was issued against him. Likely many of his already scarce issues were destroyed.</p><p>Aemilianus, 253. Bronze, Viminacium in Moesien. Büste / Weibliche Gestalt zwischen Stier und Löwe.
