<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2219238, member: 74282&quot;]I don&#039;t often buy Roman Imperial coins, especially later Imperial coins, but when I saw this one on offer by our own Seth77 I knew I had to have it. Aurelian has been one of my favorite emperors ever since I first learned about him while listening to Mike Duncan&#039;s &quot;The History of Rome&quot; podcast, but for whatever reason it took me a year to get around to actually getting one of his coins. Besides being an interesting historical figure, the bust on this one is amazingly sharp and detailed. It&#039;s one of the 4 or 5 in my entire collection that has actually made my wife say &quot;wow, that is a beautiful coin&quot; as opposed to the glance, eye-roll and &quot;how much did you spend on this one?&quot; that usually accompanies new purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]434566[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Aurelian AE Antoninianus(25mm, 3.8g).
