Leo Posted September 17, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 17, 2022 Time to check out the great RESTITUTOR ORBIS, Aurelian! Here I go over some of his pre-reform and reformed coinage, as well as some of the main aspects of the iconography put on his coins. Have you got a coin from Aurelian? Show us. Hope you enjoy this episode 🙂 10 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Julius Posted September 18, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Great video! I really like coins of Aurelian and have many but only a few photographed. Here’s an early example (late 270) that sorta still looks like Claudius II. This one’s pretty heavy for the type at 5.1 grams.
