Ancient Roman Bronze Antoninianus of Tetricus I (No reserve price)

The Ancient Roman Bronze Antoninianus of Tetricus I originates from the mid-3rd century CE during the Gallic Empire’s existence, when Postumus’ successor Tetricus I ruled from 271 to 274 AD. The antoninianus coin was a common denomination during this tumultuous era, notable for the radiate crown worn by the emperor’s portrait signaling its value. Coins from Tetricus I’s reign illustrate the political instability and efforts to maintain legitimacy in a fragmented Roman world. The coin’s bronze composition, often silvered originally, was typical of the period's debased currency. Collectors and historians seek such antoniniani as tangible records of frontline imperial propaganda, iconography, and economic conditions during the empire’s division and eventual reunification.
