Valerian I. AD 253-260. AR Antoninianus 21mm, 3.29 g. Rome Apollo
VergrootValerian I. AD 253-260. AR Antoninianus 21mm, 3.29 g. Rome mint. Struck AD 253-254. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Apollo standing left, holding lyre and laurel branch. RIC V 72. Extremely Fine, toned. Privately purchased from F. Kovacs in 1979. From the Lionel Tenby collection. Sold with original collector's ticket.
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.
