Valerian I. 253-260 AD. Antoninianus 21mm, 3.80 g. Viminacium
VergrootValerian I. 253-260 AD. Antoninianus 21mm, 3.80 g. Viminacium mint. Struck circa 253-255 AD. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / Laetitia standing left, holding wreath and rudder. RIC V 216. Very Fine, toned.
Emperor Valerian came to power during the Crisis of the Third Century and ruled jointly with his son Gallienus. His reign was marked by constant pressure from external enemies, especially the Sassanid Persians. In AD 260, Valerian was captured by King Shapur I — a humiliation unprecedented in Roman imperial history. Despite his tragic fate, Valerian’s coinage, often featuring deities like Jupiter and Virtus, reflects Rome’s ongoing effort to project strength amid turmoil.
