Time to move on to Aemilian and Cornelia Supera! And, while we're at it -- even though I doubt anyone has any and he's not related to Aemilian -- post any Uranius Antoninus coins.

No Aemilan for me, but I do have his wife:


Cornelia Supera, wife of Aemelian, Augusta, AD 253
Roman provincial Æ 20.5mm, 3.78 g
Mysia, Parium, AD 253
Obv: G CORN SUPERA, diademed and draped bust right
Rev: C. G. I. H. P., Capricorn right, cornucopia on back; globe between legs (Sear describes as a star, but this appears to be a globe)
Refs: SGI 4408 (var.); SNG Von Aulock 7448.

 

Nice @Roman Collector ... am still on the prowl for Cornelia Supera!

I have an Aemelianus provincial!


RI Aemilianus 253 CE AE24 Viminacium mint Moesia Bull-Lion - Damnatio Memoriae

 

The easy Aemilian Provincial is this Antioch, Pisidia. The same type comes for several other rulers of the period including Volusian which I missed yesterday.

 

I won't contribute here but am pretty sure @Greg Heinrich can !

Yes, I have Uranius:

SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria. Emesa. Uranius Antoninus. Usurper, AD 253-254. Æ (32mm, 16.75 g, 12h). Dated SE 565 (AD 253/4).

Delbrueck, “Uranius of Emesa,” NC 1948, Series I, 2; SNG Hunterian 3174 (same obv. die); BMC 24 (same obv. die).

 

Time to move on to Valerian I and Mariniana. Post 'em if you got 'em!

 

VALERIAN I:

RI Valerian I 253-260 CE AE 20mm Alexandria Troas mint Horse Grazing

 

Here is a nice Tiberius from Lugdunum (Gaul) Lyon:

 

VALERIAN.
CILICIA. Mopsuestia-Mopsus 255/6 AD
River god Pyramus reclining on bridge consisting of five arches and triumphal arch at each end. 31mm, 14.43gm. SNG BN 1998.

Here are two Valerian III Ae, usually in bad shape:

 

Umm... I don’t want to be “that” guy but these are Valentinian III ... 200 years after Valerian II, and long after provincial denominations ceased. But, hey, interesting coins nonetheless!

 

On to Gallienus, Salonina, Valerian Jr, and Saloninus. If you got 'em, post 'em!

Here's my favorite Salonina provincial, a big ol' decassarion from Side in Pamphylia:



Cornelia Salonina, wife of Gallienus, AD 253-268
Roman provincial Æ decassarion, 18.56 g, 28.8 mm
