Description: This ancient Roman coin was minted during the rule of Emperor Magnentius in the years 351-355 AD. The reverse of the coin depicts 2 Victories holding a wreath inscribed with a votive (Victoriae). Magnentius was of barbarian origin and joined Roman army. He was a general under Constans (q.v.) but in 350 rebelled and had himself proclaimed emperor. After Constans died, he was recognized by many of the Western provinces and wanted to take over the whole empire. He led his army against Constantius II (q.v.) but was defeated at Mursa in 351. After further losses, his soldiers deserted him, and Magnentius committed suicide in 353. The coin is a unique piece of history from the Roman Imperial Era and would make a great addition to any collection. Its authenticity is unquestionable and it is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the ancient Roman mint. 1564
