    Product Description

    SEE MORE ANCIENT COINS

    This genuine Roman Imperial silver antoninianus ancient coin was minted by Gordian III from 238 - 244 AD, in Rome.  The obverse displays a laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian.  The reverse shows Venus standing, holding a helmet and scepter.  RIC 131.  Very Fine.

    HISTORY

    Gordian III was Roman emperor from 238 to 244. At the age of 13, he became the second-youngest sole emperor of the united Roman Empire. Gordian was the son of Maecia Faustina and her husband Junius Balbus, who died before 238. Their names are mentioned in the unreliable Historia Augusta. Maecia was the daughter of Emperor Gordian I and sister of Emperor Gordian II. Very little is known of his early life before his acclamation.
