Description: This genuine, ancient and beautiful Roman coin features Emperor Victorinus. This coin was minted between 269-271 AD. The reverse of the coin depicts Salus. Salus was the Roman goddess of safety and well-being (welfare, health and prosperity) of both the individual and the state. Marcus Piavonius Victorinus was emperor in the Gallic provinces from 268 to 270. His principal concern was to prevent the western provinces from submitting to the central authority of the Roman Empire, a fact made clear to him from the first few weeks when only the provinces of Gaul, Germania and Britain recognised him. Victorinus was murdered by a jealous husband whose wife he had tried to seduce. Victorinus is listed among the Thirty Tyrants in the Historia Augusta. The dubious Historia Augusta equally has a short description of Victorinus Junior, allegedly the son of Victorinus, who was appointed emperor by his family the day his father was murdered, and was killed immediately afterwards by the troops. This coin is over 1,750 years old and is a piece of ancient art that tells a story of the past. C781
