By analogy on the Restitutor Orbis issue it is maybe Orbis (The World).</p><p><br /></p><p>Aurelian leaves a very strong numismatic legacy for his five years as emperor. His coins, 99% or more of which are Antoniniani, are available. They turn up regularly even sold in bulk. The bust type of this series can be radiate and draped, or radiate and cuirassed. The officina letter can be S or P, and the emperor on the reverse can be laureate or radiate. All these have the same RIC number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninianus, Mediolanum, 270 - 275 AD</p><p>19&nbsp; x 21 mm, 4.195 g</p><p>RIC V Aurelian 140;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG Bust of Aurelian, radiate, cuirassed, right</p><p>Rev.: RESTITVT OR/IENTIS Aurelian, standing left, holding spear in left hand, extending r. hand, receiving wreath from Oriens, standing right; mintmark P</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1309524[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1309526[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
