AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Roman Empire.
Volusian (251-253 AD).
Antoninianus (Silver, 23.6 mm, 2.87 g).

Obv: IMP C C VIB VOLVSIANVS AVG. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Rev: FELICITAS PVBL. Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus and cornucopiae.

Reference: RIC IV.3 205.

Volusian was the son and co-emperor of Trebonianus Gallus during the Crisis of the Third Century. His brief reign was overshadowed by Gothic incursions, plague and renewed instability in the eastern provinces. When the general Aemilian rebelled in 253 AD, Volusian and his father marched against him but were killed by their own troops before battle.
