    I just got this not so perfect AE 21 coin which I like very much and I felt like posting it here in hope of seeing many similar provincial coins.

    Weight of my coin is 5.36 grams.

    "Aemilian was a powerful general who defeated invading Goths and got himself proclaimed emperor by his troops. He marched on Rome and defeated Trebonianus Gallus, but when Valerian came at him with a much larger army, Aemilian's soldiers mutinied and assassinated him. He reigned all of three months in AD 253.

    His short reign makes him one of the challenging slots in an emperor set, which is probably exacerbated by the fact that a damnatio memoriae was issued against him. Likely many of his already scarce issues were destroyed."

    I'm curious why you call the Aemelian a "Damnatio Memoriae." What makes it so?
