This ancient silver coin from the 2nd century AD is a beautiful piece of Roman history that makes a great addition to any ancient coin collection. Now, Roman Empire Clod. Albinus AR Denarius Silver Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Empire Clodius Albinus AR Denarius Coin is a Choice Very Fine specimen. The coin has a mostly untoned, soft surface with silver-gray visuals. It also has a bright, soft luster on the high relief points and a largely clean field. The impressive 4/5 grades for both strike and surface indicate a coin that remains in good condition with quality visuals nearly 2,000 years after it was first struck and circulated.
In the obverse design of the Roman Empire Clod. Albinus AR Denarius Coin, you’ll find a right-profile effigy of Albinus. For the reverse of the Roman Empire AR Denarius Coin, the design field features a bust of Providentia, a divine personification from Roman religion who had the capaicty to foresee the future and make provisions. This coin comes from an era of emergency issues struck by provincial mints to help boost the supply of denarius coins in circulation to pay troops and sustain administration across Gaul and Britain.
Decimus Clodius Albinus was a Roman senator and military commander who declared himself emperor in 193 AD during the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors. Initially serving as Caesar under Septimius Severus, Albinus governed Britain before breaking with Severus and claiming imperial power for himself. His bid for the throne ended in 197 AD when he was defeated and killed at the Battle of Lugdunum (modern Lyon) in one of the largest and bloodiest battles between Roman armies, reportedly leaving over 100,000 dead.
