Valerian I. AD 253-260. Antoninianus 21mm, 2.66 g. Samosata
VergrootValerian I. AD 253-260. Antoninianus 21mm, 2.66 g. Samosata mint. Struck AD 255-256. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Two emperors standing face to face, one holding vertical spear and globe, the other Victory and transverse spear. RIC V 292. 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.
