AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antoninianus bronze/mixed silver dating to the period of the Roman Empire, minted during the reign of Emperor Probus (276–282 AD).
Analysis of the two sides:
Obverse (Front)
Description: Radiate bust of the emperor facing left, richly armored (with consular shield/drapery and scepter).
Legend: It reads IMP PROBVS AVG (Imperator Probus Augustus).
Reverse
Description: Depicts the goddess Roma seated inside a six-column temple, with a Victory and a scepter in hand.
Legend: ROMAE AETERNAE ("To Eternal Rome").
Esergo (bottom): It reads the mint mark R Δ indicating minting at the Rome mint
RIC V 187
Considerations
Being a late 3rd-century Antoninianus (Crisis of the 3rd century), the coin has a composition predominantly bronze with a residual silver content (often originally whitened with a silver bath).
