The silver denarius of the early 3rd century AD occupies a critical and historically charged position in the long story of Roman imperial coinage, produced during a period of intense political instability when the Roman Empire cycled through emperors with alarming frequency, and the silver content of the denarius was under increasing pressure from various internal and external demands. This AR Denarius from the reign of Pupienus is a rare piece from the emperor’s one-year reign and arrives in Choice Very Fine condition, according to the Numsimatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Now, Roman Empire Pupienus AR Denarius Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Empire Pupienus AR Denarius Coin has a Choice Very Fine grade with a strong 4/5 strike designation. This grade indicates a coin with well-detailed designs that were cleanly, crisply struck and well-centered in the field. The 2/5 surface grade points to a coin with heavier signs of wear and tear, as well as toning.
The obverse of the Pupienus AR Denarius Coin presents a portrait of an elderly, bearded emperor rendered with the unflinching realism of the finest Roman imperial portraiture, his aged features and full beard conveying the gravitas and experience of a man who had risen through decades of military and administrative service before becoming emperor. On the reverse of Roman Empire Pupienus Coins, you will find the figure of Felicitas. Many coins of this era drew heavily on themes of harmony, concord, and the partnership between the two co-emperors, reflecting the political reality of a joint reign established by the Senate as a deliberate counterweight to Praetorian power.
The denarii struck during the brief reign of Pupienus in 238 AD are among the rarest and most historically significant of all 3rd-century Roman coins, produced during one of the most extraordinary years in Roman imperial history when the empire witnessed no fewer than six different emperors in rapid succession in what historians have aptly called the Year of the Six Emperors. Pupienus ruled jointly with his colleague Balbinus for just three months before both were murdered by the Praetorian Guard, making his denarii among the scarcest of all mainstream Roman imperial issues.
