<p>[QUOTE=&quot;teosandra, post: 2909567, member: 86750&quot;]Imperator Aurelian would be proud of this tribute! I just bought this one (my first ancient) for my uncle as an Xmas present. He&#039;s into Roman/Greek ancient history and I think he&#039;ll appreciate it. Of course, I&#039;ll offer to bust it loose from its tomb if he&#039;d like. Some day I&#039;ll figure out how to get the lighting right on these.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b>Ancients: Aurelian (AD 270-275). BI antoninianus (4.18 gm).

IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust of Aurelian right, seen from front / ORI-ENS AVG, Sol standing left, right hand raised, globe in left, right foot on one of two bound captives seated to either side; ZXXI (Z retrograde) in exergue. RIC 154. Note - the exergual mark should read SXXI, however, the style of the officina mark is very crisp and angular, very unlike the S in the legend.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]702277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]702278[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
