A.D. 253-260 Valerian I Silver Antoninianus Main Image

Own a well-preserved silver Antoninianus hand struck over 1,750 years ago during one of the Roman Empire&#39;s most humiliating reigns. Valerian I rose to power in A.D. 253 and named his son Gallienus co-emperor to split the challenges of multiple uprisings. While his son dealt with western invasions, Valerian spent years restoring order in the Middle East. Besieged by the Persian king Shapur at Edessa, he was betrayed during negotiations, taken captive and subjected to humiliations for the rest of his life. This reportedly included serving as Shapur&#39;s footstool when he mounted his horse, and finally a tragic and public death to serve as a warning to visiting Roman diplomats. Offered in attractive Very Fine or especially nice Very Fine Plus condition, these affordable silver Antoninianii depicting Emperor Valerian have great detail and will add ancient Roman significance to your collection. Order today! (Reverse designs will vary.)

Once a slave in Constantine the Great&#39;s household, Magnentius rose through the military to become a field commander of imperial guards in the West. In January A.D. 350, he overthrew Constans, gaining control of an area from modern-day Britain to Italy. Later he named Decentius, his brother (or relative), Caesar. He tried to make peace with Constantius II, but war was unavoidable. The Battle of Mursa took place, and Magnentius was defeated. For a time, he ruled a smaller empire, but another battle loomed and his troops deserted him, so he retreated and committed suicide. From the Amiens Mint, these bronze coins were buried soon after the rebellion ended. Even after more than 1,650 years, they exhibit a satiny brown patina and original surfaces, enhancing their beauty. Order yours today!

135-37 B.C. Maccabean Bronze Widow's Mite Main Image

135-37 B.C. Maccabean Bronze Widow's Mite F/VF Main Image

In the Book of Mark 12:41-44, Jesus tells the parable of a poor widow who gave all she had - two Mites - to the temple treasury. Her offering, probably all her worldly wealth, was more valuable in the eyes of God than great sums given by rich men. Mites, or Lepta, were thin, bronze Jewish coins adorned with fruits and grains. Graven images on coins were forbidden by Jewish law, so these coins were the only kind accepted by the temple.

Portrait of Christ A.D. 1294-1320 Andronicus II & Michael IX Silver Basilicon Main Image

As a collector of antiquities myself, I&rsquo;m excited to offer you this 700-year-old silver Basilicon for the first time in our catalogs! Hand struck between A.D. 1294-1320 during the Byzantine Empire, each nicely detailed coin features a portrait of Christ on a throne with his hand raised in benediction and holding the book of gospels. 

Two emperors are shown on the reverse &ndash; Andronicus II and Michael IX. Lasting from 1282-1328, Andronicus&rsquo; reign was marked by a reduction in land forces and an elimination of the navy. However, his sponsorship of the arts led to a cultural revival. His son, Michael IX, was known as a brave soldier with a strong moral fiber. He co-ruled alongside his father from 1295 until his death at the hands of mercenaries in 1320. 

Well-preserved for over 700 years in Very Fine or better condition, each coin is a true piece of history that&rsquo;s been certified by NGC. Opportunities like this don&rsquo;t happen often, so I urge you to order quickly to secure this relic from an age of faith. This also makes a fitting gift as the holiday season approaches.
