I think Aurelian would feel right at home administering the death penalty. As I recall, it was fear of punishment that led a corrupt civil servant to convince a number of Aurelian&#039;s high ranking officials that the emperor planed to have them executed and that they had to murder him to save themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have only one coin of Aurelian, which came from a JA auction.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]702306[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Aurelian</b>, AD 270-275</p><p>Billon Antoninianus, 3.7g, 23mm, 12h; Serdica, AD 274.</p><p>Obv: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG; Radiate, cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev: ORIENS AVG; Sol standing left, holding globe and raising hand; two seated captives flanking // XXIP</p><p>Reference: RIC online 2673.</p><p><i>From the Aethelred Collection</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
